Hi, I was wondering if anyone encountered the following error with GetOpenFileName(). The open dialog opens, and I hover my mouse over a file. The dialog shows the detailed info of the file like normal. I open my file and everything works as normal. I open the open dialog again.

If I hover over any file again, the whole program is closed in a way that does not send any WM_CLOSE messages and not even windows shows up that there was an error. A weird thing also is that this error only happends on 50% of the computer's i've tried with my program. Maybe a work around that might work, is if there was a way of turning off the hovering detail display of files. Ideas, thoughts?

Either use MAX_PATH where you allocate szFileName or pass the actual size of buffer pointed to by szFileName to GetOpenFileName.

It is always a mistake to information a called function that a buffer is longer than it really is.
