Are you sure you are getting the new Vista style dialogs using C# ?
Im knocking up a managed C++/CLI application to check this. Havent
tried it since late Vista Release candidates.

You should get the new Vista-style open / save dialogs by default if you
deploy a pre-Vista application on Vista. It only doesn't work with Delphi
apps because of the use of some of the dialog-related flags by Delphi prior
to D2007. I've developed Win32 apps using Blackbox Component Pascal (that
was last updated in 2005) and they used the new Vista-style open / save
dialogs when running on the beta / RC versions of Vista without any mods
required at all.

Hi Chris ,
Im suffering the new 'manifest hell' I had forgotten about with VS2005
SP1 in regards to Managed code C++/CLI so I havent run the quick app
I knocked up LOL.

I was referring to Vista Open/Save Dialogs using the new COM
interfaces rather
than through the old API calls ( GetOpenFileName etc ).

A work arround in case of OpenDialog etc in MFC is to not Use
OFN_ENABLEHOOK when calling GetOpenFileName etc. You do then get the
new dialog/s but it isnt too useful for any complex instances plus you
get some 'Interesting' asserts when debugging.
I would assume that Pre D2007 that OFN_ENABLEHOOK was set but not in
case of Blackbox Component Pascal ( Wasnt that written by Oberon
Systems a spin off company of ETH Zurich ? ) ?
