Commondialog

Hello,
I use the funtion GetOpenFileName of "comdlg32.dll".
How can I center the dialog box in the screen ?
Thank you

You can setup a CallBack Procdure by setting the OFN_ENABLEHOOK Flag and RePosition the Dialog as it's displayed, ie.

Code:

'In a Module..
Private Type RECT
        Left As Long
        Top As Long

        Call GetWindowRect(hWnd, tRECT)
        tRECT.Left = ((Screen.Width / Screen.TwipsPerPixelX) - (tRECT.Right - tRECT.Left)) / 2

    End With
    Call GetOpenFileName(tOFN)

Usage: Filename = DoComDlg([Filter], [InitDir])
