Hello everybody, I am in the middle of a project that involves hooking the file/open save and browse for folder dialog boxes of he currently installed windows applications and manipulate them by sending windows message codes. I am stuck with a problem in doing that. I have been able to hook into the file/open save dialog boxes and manipulate them , when the applications (Notepad,Wordpad,Adobe Acrobat etc.) uses the windows common control dialogs (i.e Common Dialog Box Library).The window class type of these type of dialogs is #32770(Dialog). But the microsoft office suite doesnot use this library to generate the file open / save dialogs. The class type for the MS Office dialogs is "bosa_sdm_Microsoft Office * " , where the " * " stands for Word,Excel,Access etc. The MSDN states that The following are messages that a hook procedure can send to an Explorer-style Open or Save As dialog box. CDM_GETFILEPATH CDM_GETFOLDERIDLIST CDM_GETFOLDERPATH CDM_GETSPEC CDM_HIDECONTROL CDM_SETCONTROLTEXT CDM_SETDEFEXT But unfortunately sending these messages using LRESULT SendMessage( HWND hWnd, // handle to destination window UINT Msg, // message WPARAM wParam, // first message parameter LPARAM lParam // second message parameter ); won't do any good in case of Microsoft Office dialogs. The MSDN also doesnot state what messages I can send to the office dialogs from the hook function to manipulate them or retrieve retrieve information regarding the current folder/file path within the office dialog. So I am requesting everybody here to provide me the required guidance. I will be greatful if you people can provide anything useful. Thanks and regards,
