File OPen Dialog

Hi Gurus
I am using following code for File Open Dialog.

OPENFILENAME ofn;
char szFile[1024]= "\0";
HANDLE hf;
ZeroMemory(&ofn, sizeof(OPENFILENAME));
ofn.lpstrTitle = dialogTitle;
ofn.lStructSize = sizeof(OPENFILENAME);
ofn.hwndOwner = GetForegroundWindow();
ofn.lpstrFile = szFile;
ofn.nMaxFile = sizeof(szFile);
ofn.lpstrFilter = fileType;
ofn.nFilterIndex = 1;
ofn.lpstrFileTitle = NULL;
ofn.lpstrInitialDir = defaultFolder;
ofn.nMaxFileTitle = 1;
ofn.Flags = OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST | OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST;

if (GetOpenFileName(&ofn)==FALSE)
{
return 0;
}
hf = CreateFile(ofn.lpstrFile, GENERIC_READ,
0, (LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES) NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
(HANDLE) NULL);

strcpy(FolderPathName,ofn.lpstrFile);
CloseHandle(hf);

my problem is CAN I SHOW MY OWN STRING ON THIS STANDARD DIALOG?.....as per my understanding you can only change the header of this dialog. but for my application i want to add one string on this dialog?.....

What string? Do you want to add a custom static label to display some other information ? Or customize the way the file names are displayed ? Did you read the MSDN articles about Explorer-Style Custom Templates

As far as I know you cannot modify its dialog box directly, but you can create another dialog box that is appended to the bottom of theirs to extend its functionality. There is an example of doing that on the MSDN CD #1 that comes with the VC6 compiler. Look in the \examples directory.
