if in your web browser you click File -> Save As, you are given a selection box to select the file to save as. I want to know how to put one of these selection boxes into my DB project. I know it's possible because I've seen it done.

a DLL method will not work in exclusive mode so you need to create your own if u want exclusive mode access or the DLL will always popup behind the application which is most annoying but I hear its unavoidable due to the way DX talks to windows.


marc fleury has a snippet on his site for an input entry method.

If you say that it pops under the window in exclusive mode, can't you just say in your code to run the DLL, then minimise the programme?

Well, you would do it the other way around, but yes you could (using SHOW WINDOW and HIDE WINDOW). But remember that it may result in a resolution change and your monitor won't like you for it

I prefer to use the full screen desktop mode instead of exclusive, gets rid of problems like these
