Explanation

The IKOpenFileDialog function displays the "Open" dialog which can include a file preview and file information. The file set in the FilePath and FileExt parameters will initially be displayed in the dialog box list. By selecting the Open button, the file name and full path are set in the FileName parameter. If ExtendedDialog is set to true, when the dialog is displayed the preview and file information checkboxes are displayed. Even if Preview and FileInfo are False, these checkboxes will be displayed. To reference a vector image in the preview , you must first execute the Ik9VectCom.dll, Ik9VectComA.dll, Ik9VectCom64.dll, or Ik9VectCom64A.dll's IKVectorGdipStart function.
