Explorer-Style Control Identifiers - Win32 Programmer's Reference (win32.hlp)

Explorer-Style Control Identifiers

The Win32 SDK provides the default dialog box template for the old-style dialog boxes, but does not include the default template for the Explorer-style dialog boxes. This is because the Explorer-style dialogs allow you to add your own controls but do not support modifying the template for the standard controls. However, in some cases, you may need to know the control identifiers used in the default templates. For example, the CDM_HIDECONTROL and CDM_SETCONTROLTEXT messages require a control identifier.

The following table shows the identifiers of the standard controls in the Explorer-style Open and Save As dialog boxes. The identifiers are constants defined in DLGS.H and WINUSER.H.

Control identifier	Control Description
cmb2	Drop-down combo box that displays the current drive or folder, and that allows the user to select a drive or folder to open
stc4	Label for the cmb2 combo box
lst1	List box that displays the contents of the current drive or folder
stc1	Label for the lst1 list box
edt1	Edit control that displays the name of the current file, or in which the user can type the name of the file to open
