I have a question about the file Open dialog box.
I would like to be able to make the dialog box bigger by
selecting the bottom right-hand corner and dragging/expanding the
box.
I am told by my colleagues that this is not "standard" but find it
hard to believe.
Opening a file in MS word for example, the dialog has
an "expansion" corner on the bottom right corner.
Is it true that this is not standard.
Can you tell me how to enable and disable this
windows file Open dialog feature and would there be
any difference in the creating the dialog using vc and vb.
Charles:
I am puzzled by this question. At least in XP, isn't the "new" Open file
dialog box (the one with the Places bar) resizable by default?
What version of Visual Studio (or the PSDK) are you using? I use VC6
with the Feb 2003 SDK, and use (a slightly modified version of) Paul
diLascia's CFileDialogEx class, which allows use of the new style File
dialog on Me/2000/XP/Vista, while giving the old style one on older
platforms.
[This is with MFC of course. But if you use the PSDK directly, you just
need (I would think) to control the lStructSize member of the
OPENFILENAME structure.]
Or do you want to make the old style open file dialog resizable? That
takes work, I think.
