WinFileDialogMBS.ProminentControlID as Integer
Function:
Places a control in the dialog so that it stands out compared to other added controls.
Notes:
Setting this property causes the control to be placed near the Open or Save button instead of being grouped with the rest of the custom controls.
Only check buttons (check boxes), push buttons, combo boxes, and menus—or a visual group that contains only a single item of one of those types—can be made prominent.
Only one control can be marked in this way. If a dialog has only one added control, that control is marked as prominent by default.
