This is a class that is commonly used when working with MFC dialogs,
Using CFileDialog consists of following steps:

1. Create an instance of CFileDialog
2. Set or Modify m_ofn structure.
3. Call DoModal function of CFileDialog
4. When DoModal returns, we can call GetPathName() function to retrieve the selected filename.

First lets create the simple CFiledialog

	TCHAR szFilters[] = _T("Text Files (*.dat)|*.NC|Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*||");
	// Create an Open dialog; the default file name extension is ".my".
	CFileDialog fileDlg(TRUE, _T("txt"), _T("*.txt"),
		OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST | OFN_HIDEREADONLY, szFilters, this);

	// Display the file dialog. When user clicks OK, fileDlg.DoModal()
	// returns IDOK.
	if (fileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
	{

	}

Now lets think about the filters, first example we will filter *.txt *.dat and *.* file formats:

TCHAR szFilters[] = _T("Doc Files (*.pdf;*.txt;*.dat)||")

This will be one item in the dropdown of the CFileDialog, if we want multiple items we can create something like this:

TCHAR szFilters[] = _T("Text Files (*.pdf;*.jpg)|*.pdf;*.jpg|") _T("PDF Files (*.pdf)|*.pdf||");

In this case we will have one item described as “Text files” with filter *.pdf;*.jpg and the second item on the dropdown will be described as “PDF Files” and will have a filter for *.pdf
