Have you ever tried to send raw data to a printer port (LPT1 for example) using Visual Basic without using VB's printer object or an outside DLL or API? If you have then you know that it is virtually impossible because Visual Basic cannot directly access any system devices. This very simple code demonstrates how to use an undocumented feature of VB's 'OPEN' statement to allow direct access to the printer port as if it were a file. Accessing system devices as if they were a file is a method that was built into the old DOS-based versions of Basic, but until now I was unaware that this functionality still exists in Visual Basic. This method even works in Windows 2000, which is supposed to block direct port access for security purposes.

Replaces Microsoft's common dialog control file dialog features. Uses same interface to call the FileOpen and FileSave dialogs including multiselection support. Instead of making a more versatile control with print dialogs, color dialogs, and hooking, I decided to make a very lightweight one since the CommonControl Print and Color Dialogs are essentially useless. I could have added hooking functionality, but that would involve including a standard module as well. The only major benefit of hooking is the ability to center the dialog. However, with this code, as long as you specify the form's handle, it will position the dialog to the upper left of the form This is a direct replacement to the Microsoft CommonDialog control and will involve very little Change in coding to implement.
