this is a top-level object.
Details:
The CommonDialog family consists of five different objects: ColorDialog,
FindDialog, FontDialog, OpenDialog, and SaveAsDialog
The objects in the CommonDialog family give you easy access to the Windows DLL
(COMMDLG.DLL) containing information that allows you to quickly create these
standard dialog boxes. By using one of the CommonDialog classes you eliminate
the need to re-create standard dialog boxes for each application you design.
Note: COMMDLG.DLL must be in your Windows system directory to use this control, and
must be included with the files you are distributing with your program.
