Frustration with OpenFileDialog()

[Vic Joseph]

I want OpenFileDialog to open in Thumbnail view. At the moment it always
opens in list view, so to select a graphic file by image the user has to
change the view every time. It's quite frustrating because creating a
well-designed user interface is my main concern.

I cannot find any way to set the view or the size of the dialog box when
coding. Am I missing something obvious? Or is the only option to design my
own file dialog using forms, listboxes and so on?

regards, Vic Joseph
