    I want to detect if an application on the desktop (other than my application) has fired up a file open or file save dialog? In other words I want my application to receive an event when any application on the desktop causes a file open/save dialog to pop up. Is this possible using hooks? If so then how? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance. Regards, Zahid

      Install a WH_CBT hook and check the classname of every window created , if it matches the FileOpen Dialog's classname do ur stuff Hope it helps :) Live as if your were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. -Mahatma Gandhi
