To SysOps: Where in the world would I find the 'standard dialogs' dll for functions such as 'file open', 'file save', 'color select' that was mentioned at the Developer's Tools Forum in Seattle in August (which I attended). It was stated that it would be on Compuserve and was available now and would be included in Win 3.1. However, I have looked all over all MS forums here and can't find hide nor hair of it. What gives?

Helen: You've gotten slightly conflicting information. It's being distributed as part of the 3.1 beta, but it works with 3.0 and can be distributed with your applications now if you fill out a licensing agreement and send it in to MS. I don't think it's in the Libs here on CIS. If it were, though, it would likely be in the ISV section (16) in MSOPSYS. BTW, I think it's referred to as 'common dialogs'.

Helen, My company's MicroHelp Muscle has the common dialog routines with easy-to-use "wrappers". (It also includes more than 400 other routines!) If you have the COMMDLG.DLL (and the docs, which are part of Win 3.1), you can use all of the common dialogs except "Find Text" and "Replace Text" (because they require message processing) directly from VB, as long as you don't mind the inability to have Help available. Our product provides an interface so you can have help *and* process the messages from Find Text and Replace Text. I'll be happy to send you a brochure and demo if you'll leave me your address in a MAIL message. Mark There is 1 Reply.

Mark, I'd be interested in a demo copy of your VB-Muscle product. Here's my address: Peter Traeg Eastman Kodak Company 901 Elmgrove Road Rochester, NY 14653-5221 (The ZIP+4 is important or it will get lost in the mail room for sure!) Thanks, ..Pete There is 1 Reply.

Pete, I'll be sending you info on our products (along with a demo) right away. Thanks for asking. Just to clarify – you'll be getting a demo program, not a "demo copy" of the product. Mark

Hi Helen, The common dialogs are not available here on Compuserve. This dialog will be shiped with future releases of MS windows products. Don Funk
