Allow IFileOpenDialog to pick a file that is not created yet - c++

Question

I have seen this in many applications. You get the option to open a file and if it does not exists, it is created and you don't get any complain. All from the same Open File dialog.
I use IFileOpenDialog to open a file and if I input a file that does not exists, it shows me an error and I cannot get the path to this file.
What I want is not to get an error but have the non existing file name accepted. Later I will create it. Is this possible?
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
IFileOpenDialog *pFileOpen;
// Create the FileOpenDialog object
hr = CoCreateInstance(
CLSID_FileOpenDialog,
NULL,
CLSCTX_ALL,
IID_IFileOpenDialog,
reinterpret_cast<void**>(&pFileOpen)
);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Show the Open dialog box.
hr = pFileOpen->Show(NULL);
// Get the file name from the dialog box.
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
IShellItem *pItem;
hr = pFileOpen->GetResult(&pItem);
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
PWSTR pszFilePath;
hr = pItem->GetDisplayName(SIGDN_FILESYSPATH, &pszFilePath);
// Check if file actually exists
if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
{
// Create file if not found
if (PathFileExists(pszFilePath) != 1)
{
}
CoTaskMemFree(pszFilePath);
}
pItem->Release();
}
}
pFileOpen->Release();
}
CoUninitialize();
}

call IFileDialog::GetOptions to get the default options, remove FOS_PATHMUSTEXIST and FOS_FILEMUSTEXIST bits, then set the new options back with IFileDialog::SetOptions.
