Wrong Standard OpenDialog on Windows

I trying to open a standard OpenFile Dialog on Windows and get the above result.
Windows Vista dn higher Users will see that the SearchField in the upper right corner of the Window is missing.

I tried it with Xojo and MBS solutions on Xojo 2014 R2.
In the language manual is an image of the Dialog i am trying to open. But even if i use the example from the manual, the SearchField is missing.

What am i doing wrong please?

You’re doing nothing wrong (and if I’m wrong, someone correct me please). That’s the dialog shown by all Xojo Apps. Windows offers different versions of this file open dialog. This is the one Xojo uses and I think it’s a compatibility-thing. The image in the Language reference is wrong.

You can check this by opening the Lingua-Tool which is written in Xojo. Use the Windows version and choose file->open. You’ll see a very familiar file open dialog.

To access the real thing you have to declare the needed api calls by yourself. And that’s where I’m out :wink:
