Hello, I am working with the Browse Dialog control. While I like the ease of the behaviour it provides I am seeking to customize it further. Basically I have a text string for the "HeaderDetailText" that exceeds the length of the form. Testing with users has indicated that an explanation on how the browse dialog works would be beneficial (i.e. just hit enter for all records, multiple search terms result in logical "and").

I've tried embedding vbcrlf & Chr(10) + Chr(13) but it just prints out the strings themselves (makes sense). I've tried programmatically accessing the control with the hope of either setting the text with an embedded carriage return or setting the multi-line property to true but I can't find "it" (the GradientHeader.DetailText control) in form's object collection leading me to suspect that it is private or of a different type.

I've tried putting other controls on it (like a button for a help dialog to explain how to search) but the Browse Dialog is modal in design time so I am unable to do so. I could reinvent the wheel and create my own Browse Dialogs but since you guys have already done the (great) work I figured I'd try to use.

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thank you - J
