Win2000 Style Open Dialog in Win98?
-
I've just had the comment "If Word2000 can display the new style file open dialogs in Win98 why can't you?". Well I'm not Microsoft! Anyone got any ideas though?

Just do what MS did, rewrite the dialog from scratch so it looks like the Win 2K version. ;)
I started writing a some code that emulated the open dialog on Windows 2000, I subclassed the common dialog to do this. Basically I ended up with some cludgy code that almost worked. There seem to be issues with the syncronisation with dropdown bitmap combo the list control. Eventually I had abandon the project with probably 90% success. I now develop on Windows 2000 and my projects don't have to be compatible with NT, 98 etc. I can send you a demo for suggestions if you email me.

Hi, I contacted Norm Almond for the code, and updated it a bit, I never experienmced the probelms he is describing, so with his permission it has now been submitted to the CodeProject archives. The topic is currently in UserItems, but should appear in the "Dialog and Windows Programming" section, titled "Win 2k style File Dialogs for Win 95/98/NT/Me". It is an attempt to copy the Office 2000 style dialogs, and I have tested it pretty thouroughly and found no major problems. The sample project has also been updated.
