Need some advice on shell32

[Mathy Vanvoorden]

Hello,

In an effort to get myself acquainted with the code I searched for some
bugs I might be able to solve in Bugzilla. I found this one:

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32079

Basically it says that an open file dialog in for example notepad or
notepad++ doesn't show hidden files when the "Show hidden files" option is
set in winecfg.

I have traced this back to the fact that the ShowDotFiles option is only
checked in the NT functions in ntdll, but notepad (and notepad++) use the
comdlg32 open dialog which does not use those NT functions but the shell32
ones.

It seems to me that the comdlg32 open dialog should check if ShowDotFiles
is active and if so, to pass the SHCONTF_INCLUDEHIDDEN flag to the shell32
objects. But I might (probably?) be wrong.

Can someone verify that this is the way to go before I start writing a
patch?
