About Common Dialog Boxes

This overview describes the common dialog boxes and explains how to use them in applications designed for the Microsoft® Win32® application programming interface (API). The common dialog boxes include the Open and Save As file dialogs, the Find and Replace editing dialogs, the Print, Print Setup, and Page Setup printing dialogs, and the Color and Font dialogs.

You can create common dialog boxes for your applications by using the common dialog box functions. These functions supply the dialog box procedures and templates for the common dialog boxes. You supply the initial values for the dialog boxes and the addresses of the variables and buffers that receive the input from the dialog boxes.

Beginning with Microsoft Windows NT® version 4.0, the support for common dialog boxes is the same on Windows NT and Microsoft Windows® 95.
