Inheriting CommonDialog

Does anyone have the definitive snippet of code for how to inherit from
CommonDialog?
I want to add an extra control into the OpenFileDialog. I know you cannot
inherit from this or from FileDialog, but that you have to inherit from
CommonDialog and override RunDialog and Reset. However, I don't know what to
put into RunDialog or Reset, and the IDE also comes up with an error about
it cannot create an instance of the component.

Thanks,

Simon

That's not as easy and would require dialog hooking or dialog templates
to add the additional controls. I feel sorry, I don't have any .NET
sample on how to do that.

Hey, I'm using the CommonDialog object to load a dialog which allows the user to select the files they want to upload. This solution works perfectly on computers that have some Visual Studio applications installed, but on those without any, it won't work since it doesn't have the required file registered. The code I'm currently using:

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
