I found this code on the web and thought it would be something worth sharing. It uses some advanced tricks that puts the Common Dialog box on steroids. It uses hook procedures to add controls to a common Dialog, center it according to the placement of the parent window, add a status bar and more! Check out the screen shot to see what the final result looks like
This example shows buttons for copying, moving, deleting and printing files by using just the Common Dialog box alone (although the code to do these are not included, I'm working on it and I'm sure you will be too).
The URL where I found this code is in the ReadMe text file. If you've never been to this web site, you gotta check it out!
