open file dialog - "add"

The open file dialog control in Windows forms has an "Open" button. Is
there a way to change the text of the button to something other than
"Open"?

Hi,

The open file dialog box uses the text from the language of the OS.

Be aware that this is annoying for users when it is another text/behaviour
as usual. The same as setting the brake pedal of a car right and the
throttle left.

I hope this gives an idea

I assume that this can be done using a dialog hook ('WM_INITDIALOG ').

I have several lengthly VB.NET Enums that I'd like to store in seperate files (not in the body of my main routine.) I hoped that VB.NET had an "Include" statement (like C) who presence indicates the content of a file is inserted at this point in the code. But I couldn't find a VB.NET "Include". Can I do what I want in VB.NET? TIA, Bill

I have been perusing various blogs and MSDN pages discussing the use of event properties and the EventHandlerList class. I don't believe there's anything special about the EventHandlerList class in this context, in fact some articles from pre-2.0 suggest using any collection class of your choice. So my questions focus more on the syntax of event properties provided by the "event" keyword in C#. (Disclaimer - I am a C++ programmer working...
