Resizing a FolderBrowserDialog

[Michael A. Covington]

Has anyone hacked a way to resize a FolderBrowserDialog and make it wider
than the default size?

Presumably, this could be done by supplying a HookBack delegate,
intercepting the INITDIALOG message, and doing the resizing and
repositioning then - but I'm quite foggy on how to do that.

I think resizing/moving the window using the SetWindowPos API in
WM_INITDIALOG will work.

By default, the hook procedure centers the dialog box on the screen in
response to a WM_INITDIALOG message.

Thanks. Can somebody give me an example of how to use the HookProc property
of a common dialog box? What to do *within* the procedure isn't the
problem; I need to know how to set it up as a whole.
