Adding active icons to title-bar of common File Open dialog
-
Please excuse me if this is an 'obvious' or 'trivial' question . . . I'm a C# newbie . . . familiar with VB5 (learning VB.NET and C#.NET), but this .NET arena is quite different :-O I would like to write a C# applet which hides in the background and watches for the common Windows "File Open" (or "File SaveAs") dialog to open-up (from any application running on the system), and then attach a couple of icons to the title-bar which would do actions that I'm going to code-up. Specifically, there's an old, unsupported piece of software called "PowerDesk Dialog Helper" (which worked great pre-XP, but is mostly-broken with modern apps) which would put a "Recent Files" and "Recent Folders" icon on the title-bar (the lists being unique to the application which launched the dialog) so that you could easily navigate to places where you'd been with that application. I'd like to recreate this behavior, and embellish upon it. Any suggestions on how to make my applet (probably hide in the 'tray') take-notice of a newly-opened "File SaveAs" or "File Open" dialog box, and then attach a pair of icons to it's title-bar?? Thanx (in advance). Saber Of Borg
