| $iOption | [optional] This parameter must be 0 or one of the following values that alter the default format options in the dialog. $SHFMT_OPT_FULL (Default) $SHFMT_OPT_QUICKFORMAT $SHFMT_OPT_SYSONLY |
| $hParent | [optional] Handle of the parent window of the dialog. |
| Success: | The format ID of the last successful format. The LOWORD of this value can be passed on subsequent calls as the fmtID parameter to repeat the last format. |
