Hi Valentin Thanks for the reply and I hope you'll be seriously bored at some point:)
I have cXtraDialogs and I did ask cXtra people could it be done but as with most of their support they were a bit dry about it and simply said "no" :))) I was messing around yesterday trying to send key strokes and I've "almost" succeded, but I couldn't send the "WINPOPUP" stroke (the button next to "Alt GR") because the dialog gets modal although it can receive a sequence of TABs before it's initialised!? (the sequence should be: 6xTAB, WINPOPUP,arrow down, arrow right, 5x arrow down, enter)..or something like that...with the standard explorer(My Computer) it's simply (ALT+v,ALT+h) but unfortunately not with the Open dialog...damn Ah well...if you do get around to make the dialog with the thumbnail feature let me know and feel free to put some price on it!:)) Thanks a lot Pedja P.s. here is a bigger chalenge for you.. can you make it so it can be embeded in MD :))))) -----Original Message----- From: Valentin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 04 January 2005 01:11 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Lingo programming discussion list Subject: Re: <lingo-l> OpenFile dialog in thumbnail mode Hi Pedja, I don't think that any xtra that I know of has this feature. Most options gives you cXtraDialogs http://www.cxtra.net/site4/modules.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=50 It also has a special dialog ( OpenPictureDlg / OpenPictureDlgEx ) with an image preview of selected images. But I think the feature you ask for could theoretically be implemented, the Windows API functions GetOpenFileName()/ GetSaveFileName, that such dialogs are based on, offer a lot of advanced features/options. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winui/w inui/windowsuserinterface/userinput/commondialogboxlibrary/aboutcommondi alogboxes/openandsaveasdialogboxes.asp Maybe writing such an "ultimate, highly configurable OpenFileDialog-Xtra" would be a nice exercise for the next time I'm bored... ;-) Valentin Pedja wrote: > Hi list > > Any ideas how to start a File Open dialog in thumbnail mode (in > Windows)...tried everything with every xtra I have, googled around and > can't find any reference anywhere...
