CommonDialog Control

Description

The CommonDialog control provides a standard set of dialog boxes for operations such as opening and saving files, setting print options, and selecting colors and fonts. The control also has the ability to display help by running the Windows Help engine.

For a list of all members defined in this module, see CommonDialog Members.

Remarks

The CommonDialog control provides an interface between Visual Basic and the routines in the Microsoft Windows dynamic-link library Commdlg.dll. To create a dialog box using this control, Commdlg.dll must be in your Microsoft Windows SYSTEM directory.

You use the CommonDialog control in your application by adding it to a form and setting its properties. The dialog displayed by the control is determined by the methods of the control. At run time, a dialog box is displayed or the help engine is executed when the appropriate method is invoked; at design time, the CommonDialog control is displayed as an icon on a form. This icon can't be sized.
