Getting a file name from a formview project

[Z.K.]

I have a FormView project and I was wondering if someone could tell me
how to get the name of the file name that is selected when trying to
open or save a file. I don't actually need to open or save a file, I
just need the file name. I tried using the serialize function, but that
did not seem to work for me. I can bring up the save or file dialog,
but I can't seem to actually select the file name that I want so that I
can assign it to a variable and display it in a messagebox. When I try
it using the ar variable, nothing happens. I know I could just use
CFile or CStdioFile to do it, but I wanted to use the open file icon
from the toolbar along with the serialize function.

The file name selected for opening a file is passed to
CDocument::OnOpenDocument.

The file name to be saved is passed to CDocument::OnSaveDocument.

You can override these functions in your CDocument derived class.

Thanks. For some reason I thought that I had tried that and it did not
seem to work, but it does now in my basic program. Oh well, thanks again.
