I want to replace the standard open file dialog box with the one I wrote, which means that no matter what programs you open the file in, my dialog will be shown instead of the standard one, is this possible?
It seems that there is no such API for this, is it possible to use some kind of interception technique, but it should be reliable and should not be considered as spyware using antivirus tools?
any other options?
If this is not possible, can I add a button to the space or toolbar in the standard dialog box of the open file that brings up my dialog, which allows users to select the file and, in turn, returns the path of the selected file to the File Name field in the standard dialog box ?
Any hits, links and code examples will be appreciated.
