#76: How can I change a button caption in OpenDialog/SaveDialog?

Today I found a nice tip about changing the captions in standard dialogs (TOpenDialog or TSaveDialog).

By default the TOpenDialog have the two buttons: Open and Cancel. You can change this default value:

procedure TForm1.OpenDialog1Show(Sender: TObject);
begin
  SetDlgItemText(GetParent(OpenDialog1.Handle), IDOK, PChar('New &Open'));
  SetDlgItemText(GetParent(OpenDialog1.Handle), IDCANCEL, PChar('New &Cancel'));
end;
