Description

The GxFileFilter object implements the IGxFileFilter interface. It lets you manipulate the file types displayed by ArcCatalog. Through this interface, you can add additional file types to the filter, remove file types, and determine whether or not a particular file will be displayed.

The Filter method returns a Boolean that indicates whether or not the specified file will be displayed in ArcCatalog based on the current file filter.

The FindFileType method returns an index that indicates the position of the specified file extension within the filter list. A value of -1 indicates the extension was not found. Do not include the “.” when passing in the extension.
