How do you get the open window to popup?

i'm making a lot of apps that opens files. how do you make the "open" window popup like in notepad or word or something?

Use CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

Select it from Components.

is it possible to do it without the component?

An API??

see this
umm, I never tried to examine the code anyways:D but if you edit it you might be able to open other dialogs:rolleyes:

Alternatively, u could make ur own, using DirListBox, FileListBox etc.

umm isn't that considered "component"? or is it included in VB runtime?
