I haven't looked into the details, but others have. I believe a thread
dealt with this about a year ago. As you point out, the first approach
would be to subclass the existing control. Another, of course, is to write
it from scratch with the same look and feel as the Windows dialog. One last
thought is to simply subclass (or rewrite) the "edit control" and not the
entire dialog.
