SUMMARY
The description of the string returned by the CFileDialog member functions GetFileTitle and GetFileName in the Visual C++ 4.0 documentation is switched.

This documentation error was corrected in Visual C++ version 4.1.



MORE INFORMATION
The Visual C++ 4.0 documentation for CFileDialog::GetFileTitle states:   "The title of the filename includes both the name and the extension.    For example, GetFileTitle will return "TEXT.DAT" for the file    C:\FILES\TEXT.DAT." This is incorrect. Calling CFileDialog::GetFileTitle for the file mentioned will return TEXT.

Similarly, the Visual C++ 4.0 documentation for CFileDialog::GetFileName states:   "The name of the file includes only its prefix, without the path or    the extension.  For example, GetFileName will return "TEXT" for the    file C:\FILES\TEXT.DAT." This is also incorrect. Calling CFileDialog::GetFileName for the above file will return "TEXT.DAT".
