[Request] UserAccounts.CommonDialog by Rene on 07-04-2006 at 08:27 AM
Hi,
I know how to Select one File from you'r own PC,
But how can i select an Folder from you'r own PC ?
I can't find any way to do this with
new ActiveXObject('UserAccounts.CommonDialog')
I'm sorry, but i'm not an professional with ActiveXObjects

var folderpath = Interop.Allocate((255+1) * 2);
Interop.Call('shell32', 'SHGetPathFromIDList', pidl, folderpath);
Debug.Trace('Folder Path: ' + folderpath.ReadString(0, false));
Debug.Trace('Folder Title: ' + foldertitle.ReadString(0, false));

much simpler way i found not long after i first posted that, although it uses activex not windows api
code:
var objShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
var objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Select a folder:", 0, "C:\\");

When the user clicks on 'Ok' orso, then i must know what of director the user chose.

I am Dutch too my friend, and it seems like you do know enough english to be able to understand the posts here. That implies you actually do have enough knowledge to be able to understand the MSDN too.
If you don't, you are IMHO not "good enough" to be a programmer.

But i forget every time the MSDN orso, but i will add him on my bookmarks
And this discussion is not realy ontopic.
