Parameters

hdlg

Handle of the common dialog box window to receive the message.

psz

Pointer to the buffer that receives the path.

cbmax

Size, in bytes (ANSI version) or characters (Unicode version), of the psz buffer.

Return Values

If the message succeeds, the return value is the size, in bytes or characters, of the path string, including the terminating NULL character. This is either the number of bytes or characters copied to the psz buffer, or the required buffer size if the buffer is too small.
