I've been searching for days on this, and find bits and pieces of how-to's but I can't seem to fit them all together. Maybe someone there can give me the straight story.

I want to display ye old CommonDialog comdlg32.ocx with the files being shown in the "detail" view. I understand I have to create some kind of "hook" to do this. Is it a combination of using the GetOpenFileName call and perhaps some other call like GetDlgItem?

You don't have to give me all the code. Just tell me what to do/call and in what order with maybe a little explanation as to what it's going to do.

I found this very question posted in many a Google Group post. All the answers mostly described it as being impractical in VB, and the little code I found was incomplete.
