Built entirely around the Common Dialog APIs, the CCRP Extended FileDialog Control provides developers with significant functionality over the VB-supplied control. Fully configurable as a custom File Open or File Save dialog, now your application has full control over the dialog's attributes. Add custom captions, ReOrganize the controls, and/or add your own to create a distinct file dialog.
The CCRP Extended FileDialog Control offers many features not found in the standard FileOpen and FileSave Common Controls provided as part of Visual Basic, including:
User definable start-up position.
User definable size of the dialog.
Events raised to notify the following actions:
The user cancelled the dialog (no more error checking for when the user presses the Cancel button);
The dialog is about to be destroyed;
The dialog has been initiated and is about to be displayed;
The user browses a file (good for implementing a preview window);
The user has selected one or more files (Ok button pressed);
The user has navigated from a folder to another folder;
The user has changed the type of the files displayed.
A FileNames collection holding all the filenames selected (in a multiple selection ccrpFileDialog).
A method that allows the programmer to add one or more VB controls onto the ccrpFileDialog.
A CommDlgHwnd property to return the Window handle of the common dialog displayed, for numerous uses, including callbacks.
Ability to specify the form to which the ccrpFileDialog is modal (not only the form the ccrpFileDialog is sited on but any loaded form the programmer chooses to assign).
Dialog control ID's exposed to allow modifying the size, caption, position, and visibility of any of the internal controls of the common dialog.
Built-in constants for flags, help, internal controls, start-up position.
Separate constants for the hidden listbox and for the listview.
