When using CMdialog control to open multiple filenames is there a way to force the order in whch the resulting filenames are returned? I require the filenames to be returned in the order they were picked. ie holding down the control key and clicking on each file. However something appears to sort the returned filenames into another order which I've yet to work out.

This is the code I'm using:
...

Im using the CommonDialog activeX control to select multiple file names. However I would like to be able to control using code the resulting view of the files as you can do in realtime using the view menu, ie details, thumbnails, icons etc.

I've tried changing the default view in windowsXP for that folder but the resulting view always defaults to thumbnails.

I'd also like to be able to control the order of the filenames...

I have a requirement where I need to be able to hide the mouse cursor or move the mouse cursor to coordinates which are off the screen as to simulate a hidden mouse cursor using access.

Does anyone know of a way to achieve this?
