Version 2.1 of my ActiveX control with 4 dialog boxes to act a replacements for the Microsoft Common Dialog Control. All source code included! Each dialog box is self-contained and can be used outside of the ActiveX control as well. This control contains 4 functions that show dialog boxes to select colors, open a file, save a file, and to specify a directory. #1 Function ShowColor(...) As Long Color selection dialog box that has the same power as the MCD color selector plus some extras. It has 3 palettes to choose from, HSL and RGB options, a Zoom window, and a Color Shade bar. Works great! #2 Function ShowOpen(...) As String Open file dialog box. Uses custom error checking and can be customized by the programmer. #3 Function ShowSave(...) as String Save file dialog box. Uses custom error checking and can be customized by the programmer. #4 Function ShowDirSelect(...) as String Directory selection dialog. Comes in handy when you need the user to specify a directory. Note: The reason I created these is the common problem of using the Microsoft Common Dialog control. When you create a program that uses the MCD control, any install package will include the MCD control in the install package. This causes a problem because the MSD control is usally always in use by the something and will mess up your install. Ofcouse this problem may be solved by various install package making programs, but I get this error every time useing the VB Package and Deployment Wizard.
