Remarks

This method is primarily used for defining the extension of the export file name within the Export Map dialog.  The string contained in this value is a null-terminated pattern string that follows the standard for a Windows Open and Save As dialog filter.  The value of this property can change according to the state of the export object.  An ExportSVG object, for example, returns "SVG (*.svg)|*.svg" when its compression property is False, and "Compressed SVG (*.svgz)|*.svgz" when the compression property is True.  This makes the Filter ideal for automatically assigning the appropriate file name extension for an export file.
