The standard OpenDialog comes with two (or more) buttons: Open and Cancel. I would like to change the caption of these buttons. How?

 

 

1.

  Start a new application.

 

2.

  Add an OpenDialog. Edit its OnShow event:

 

void __fastcall TForm1::OpenDialog1Show(TObject *Sender)

{

    SendMessage(GetParent(dynamic_cast<TOpenDialog*>

        (Sender)->Handle), CDM_SETCONTROLTEXT, IDOK,

        (long)"&Go");

 

    SendMessage(GetParent(dynamic_cast<TOpenDialog*>

        (Sender)->Handle), CDM_SETCONTROLTEXT, IDCANCEL,

        (long)"&Don't Go");

}

 

3.

  Add a Button. Edit its OnClick event:

 

void __fastcall TForm1::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)

{

    OpenDialog1->Execute();

}
