Reading the Help file, it looks like I can get the Handle for the 
TOpenDialog in the OnShow event.  I was thinking that if I had the 
handle, then I could create a button and add a button to that dialog, 
such as the following:

//OnShow()....
    Button->Top = 0;
    Button->Height = 10;
    Button->Left = 0;
    Button->Width = 10;
    Button->Caption = "HELLO";
    Button->Parent = NULL;

/* <- This places it on the main form, but obviously is inaccessible as 
the dialog is modal during execute()*/
    //Button->Parent = Application->MainForm;


    Button->ParentWindow = this->Handle; //I figure this would do it, 
but it doesn't
    Button->Visible = true;
    Button->BringToFront();


Any ideas?  Or am I barking up the wrong tree again?
