Add entries to "Look in" control of CFileDialog

[SunnyFD]

I have an application that can access (open/save) local files as well as files stored on a host using a special server that we wrote. Currently, I have the standard Windows open dialog (CFileDialog) for local files and a custom open dialog for my host files. I'd like to combine the 2 dialogs into one. The "Look in" control has a list of local drives but I'd like to add all the host names I have access to.

I have found a number of articles that show how to resize the dialog box, move existing controls and add new ones. Nothing on how to gain access to the combo box. Am I missing something obvious? Is it possible at all? All suggestions welcome!

Hi,

I don't know if if this helps you:
You can use SPY++ to get the Control ID of the ComboBox in the FileOpen Dialog.
With GetDlgItem() you can then get access to the ComboBox. From there you are on your own...
