Description
The IGxDialog interface is implemented by the GxDialog object and provides access to the properties of the dialog box object and methods for displaying the dialog box during open or save operations. Use this interface when you want to access the properties of the dialog box or when you wish to display the dialog box for input from the end user.
What the user can select or specify when using a
GxDialog browser is based on the filters
(GxObjectFilter) held by the object. The
GxDialog object implements the
IGxObjectFilterCollection interface. It provides access to
the set of filters used by the GxDialog object. Even
though a collection of filters can be attached to a
GxDialog object, onlyone filter is actually active at a
time. The active filter is specified through the dialog box when
DoModalOpen or DoModalSave is executed through
the IGxDialog interface. Use the
IGxObjectFilterCollection interface when you want to
remove all of the filters or when you want to add an additional
filter to the object.
When To Use
Use the IGxDialog interface when you want to invoke a dialog to pick one or more GIS datasets or to save GIS data to disk.

Remarks
If you are writing an application in Visual C++ that creates/uses a GxDialog object, the application needs to call ::OleInitialize() instead of ::CoInitialize() prior to creating the GxDialog.
