How To Change the Controls in a Common Dialog Box
This article was previously published under Q82299
One reason to incorporate the common dialogs library routines into an
application is the ability to use the basic functionality of one or more of
the common dialogs and tailor it to the needs of a particular application.
All of the predefined controls must be present for the Common Dialogs
DLL (COMMDLG.DLL) to properly interact with a dialog box. Each predefined
control in the dialog box must retain its control ID value. For these
reasons, an application cannot delete unnecessary controls from a dialog box.
To prevent the user from interacting with a given control, move the control
off screen by specifying very large coordinate values [for example, (4000,
4000)]. The application must also disable the control to prevent it from
receiving the focus when the user uses the TAB key to cycle through the
controls. Failing to disable the control can create "mystery" tab stops
where the input focus disappears.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
