Board index » cppbuilder » Setting view style when using GetOpenFileName() api

Hi all, just a quick, double question.
I'm using GetOpenFileName() api to display the Open dialog but I want to
know if it's possible to set the view style i.e. so the dialog displays
thumbnails, before the dialog is displayed so the user doesn't have to
select that style. I'm using this particular occurrence to allow the user
to pick an image so that's the kind of visual effect I'm trying to achieve.
Also, I've notices, particularly in Outlook 2003, their open / save dialog
has an image preview panel on it - is this an extension to the above api's
or is it simply that they've coded their own custom, custom dialogs :-)
Ideally this is the effect that I would like to achieve.
Many thanks in advance,
Mike C
