Hi All,

I am using the common dialog color pallete and open forms in VB6.0.

I have two questions:

1. How can the position of these forms on the screen be specified when
they are loaded. By default they always seem to be located with their
upper left corner coinciding with the upper left corner of the form
that they are loaded from. I would prefer them to have an initial
position in the centre of the screen.

2. The application in which these two forms are used is multi-language
(english/espanol) ..... are there any language options for the common
dialog forms ?. I need to have the text on the open form in espanol
.... i.e. Abrir not Open.

Thanks,

Steve

Not sure if the common control should automatically present it's buttons
etc. in the appropriate language based on the user's settings, but this code
will show you how to use the API colour picker instead of the common control
version thus enabling you to customize its position, as well as change
button and caption text if desired ...
