Afternoon all.

I was wondering, if anyone know what the .DLL (common.dialogs or
something) its command that displays dialog boxes like this (and/or better)
below ??

I'm under Windows 98 w/ my Delphi 6 tool, and I was hoping that its a .DLL
that w98 users can use, and that I can "build" my apps around these dialog
boxes.

Any help would be much appreciated.

PS: I'm still looking for some deceant Forms faces/buttons/skins, instead of
the old and drary looking dialog and interfaces of w98. Any help would be
much appreciated - Thanks,

vhelp,

If I read you right, the file you're looking for is something like comdlg32.dll or commdlg.dll. Don't have 98 anymore but it's the common dialog dll you're looking for. It should be in windows\system or windows\system32. Hope that helps.

regards

What I'm looking for, is the one that produces dialogs as the one above.

When I write my apps, I'd like to design them w/ these dialogs showing up
instead of the older ones rolleyes.gif

Any suggestions on how I can do this.. and/or obtain the .DLL for these
dialog boxes ??

Thanks,

I'm thinkin' that what you're after has to be part of the Delphi IDE. There may be updates or addins for Delphi to spruce up the available controls. I don't know of any as I'm not familiar with Delphi. You might try googling for Delphi +addin or something similar.

Sorry!

As far as I know mfc42.dll is responsible for most microsoft foundation class library objects. But you need to know how to access dll or your program must be able to communicate with certain dll. If you want to design own dialog boxes u must create your own dll in f.ex C++. So you'd
be able to create custom style dialog boxes and anything you want.
