Customising File Save As Dialog

Hai,
 
I want to have more than one options in "Save As Type" field of the "File Save As Dialog". Can this be done using WinAPI?( I am trying to use GetOpenFileName() of the comdlg32.dll but am not able to make it work)? I am using labview 7.1.
 
Thanks,
Manoj.C

You need to provide the correct filter string. This MSDN page example explains how to specify the lpstrFilter parameter, and this MSDN page explains the usage with examples.

If you are trying to configure what type of file to save as default with the File I/O VIs, then you can always use the File Dialog express VI to configure this property.  It is the pattern label input, and you can have multiple file types, separated by a semicolon.
