The Type field contains a drop-down list of extended-attribute filters.

The Type field displays the value passed in the pszIType field of the FILEDLG data structure. The current setting is highlighted when the drop-down list is displayed.

When a type filter is not specified by the application, <All Files> is displayed and no extended-attribute type filtering is used with the initial display.

All files affected by the string filter and the extended-attribute type filter criteria are displayed, based on how the filters are to be used. The default is that all file names meeting the intersection of the two filters are shown. When users change the value in the Type field, the File list box is updated to display a list of files that meet the new type filter criteria. Files that meet both the string filter and extended-attribute type filter are displayed.
