Formless Common Dialog Box

[cpaige]

Does anyone know of a way to display a Common Dialog Box without having to create a form in the project? I wanted to display one before any form is displayed. Just wondering <p>Clayton T. Paige<br><a href=mailto:cpaige@home.com>cpaige@home.com</a><br><a href=

yeah.. look it up in the API, beleive it or not, the common dialog control is just an API call, and some other code!!!.. thats all tthe controlss seem to be<br><br>anways.. the open and save as dialogs are something like <br><br>getOpenFileName (open)<br>getSaveFileName (save, Save as)<br><br>i would almost prefer usign the API because u have alot more options too, read about teh structures used at <A HREF="

Although you don't have to use the Common Dialog <i>Control </i> when creating a Common Dialog in a form module, it is the typical approach. The other approach is to create an 'instance' of the COM object in code. This can be done anwhere in a VB code moodule; thus,<br><br><br>Sub DoCommonDialog()<br><br>Dim con1 as object<br>set con1 = CreateObject(&quot;MSComDlg.CommonDialog.1&quot<br>' ...use the Common Dialog object, See the Common Dialog Reference.<br><br><br>&nbsp;set con1 = nothing<br><br>End Sub<br>done!<br><br> <p>Amiel<br><a href=mailto:amielzz@netscape.net>amielzz@netscape.net</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
