The Common Dialog Box Methods
To display a particular dialog box, your application must specify one of these methods:
- ShowColor
- ShowFont
- ShowHelp
- ShowOpen
- ShowPrinter
- ShowSave
Therefore, if your Common Dialog Box control is named cdbFile, your application can display the File Save dialog box with this statement:
cdbFile.ShowSave
The next few sections quickly show you how to set up each type of common dialog box.
