File Open/Save Common Dialog Control IDs #70
If you want to customise a common file / save dialog box, you may need to know the identifiers of the various controls in the dialog box. They are listed in the table below. You particularly need to know the stc32 control id if you are adding further controls.
| Control Identifier | Control Description |
|---|---|
| cmb2 | Drop-down combo box that displays the current drive or folder and allows the user to select a drive or folder to open. |
| stc4 | Label for the cmb2 combo box. |
| lst1 | List box that displays the contents of the current drive or folder. |
| stc1 | Label for the lst list box. |
| edt1 | Edit control that displays the name of the current file, or in which the user can type the name of the file to open. But see cmb13 below. |
| cmb13 | Combo box that displays name of current file, or in which user can type name of file to open (may be used instead of edt1). |
| stc3 | Label for the edt1 edit control. |
| cmb1 | Drop-down combo box that displays the list of file type filters. |
| stc2 | Label for the cmb1 combo box. |
| chx1 | The read-only check box. |
| IDOK | The OK command button (push button). |
| IDCANCEL | The Cancel command button (push button). |

The control identifiers in the left hand column can be found in Delphi's
