Summary:
One reason to incorporate the Common Dialogs dynamic-link library
(DLL) into an application is the ability to use the basic
functionality of one or more of the common dialogs and tailor it to
the needs of a particular application.
All of the predefined controls must be present for the Common Dialogs
DLL to properly interact with a dialog box. Each predefined control in
the dialog box must retain its control ID value. For these reasons, an
application cannot delete unnecessary controls from a dialog box.
To prevent the user from interacting with a given control, move the
control off screen by specifying very large coordinate values [for
example, (4000, 4000)]. The application must also disable the control
to prevent it from receiving the focus when the user uses the TAB key
to cycle through the controls. Failing to disable the control can
create "mystery" tab stops where the input focus disappears.
