Hi,
you can create and use Common Dialog control as a COM object. But you have to initialize ALL required properties before:

ComDlg = CreateObject("MSComDlg.CommonDialog")

ComDlg.Flags = 0x102	&& cdlCFPrinterFonts + cdlCFEffects
ComDlg.FontName = "Arial"
ComDlg.FontSize = 9
ComDlg.ShowFont()

ComDlg.DialogTitle = "Select a file:"
ComDlg.Flags = 0x1000	&& cdlOFNFileMustExist
ComDlg.Filter = "Text (*.txt)|*.txt|Pictures (*.bmp;*.ico)|*.bmp;*.ico"
ComDlg.MaxFileSize = 266
ComDlg.ShowOpen()
? ComDlg.FileName

ComDlg.ShowColor()
_Screen.BackColor = ComDlg.Color

>Does anyone know what parameters I need to pass in my AddObject() command in order to add a 'Microsoft Common Dialog Control 6.0' to my form programmatically?

>Also, where can I find information like this for futture reference?
