A while ago I asked for a missing CMDLG98.CHM file for some updated Visual
BASIC Control...

Someone did sent it to me... but... this seems to be just the main
help-page... There's no information about properties, events etc...

But... I found out a (better?) sollution myself... :-)

I copied some excisting files and renamed them...
Visual Basic 5 seems to accept this trick and because the controls are
updates, all properties, events etc. will be the same

Copy:
WINDOWS\HELP\CMDLG96.HLP   to
WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CMDLG98.CHM

I did the same to this one:
WINDOWS\HELP\INET.HLP   to
WINDOWS\SYSTEM\INET98.CHM

I guess this trick may also work with other controls like:
WINDOWS\HELP\MASKED96.HLP  and
WINDOWS\HELP\RTFBOX96.HLP


Success,
