CommonDialog - Open

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I want to create folder browser using the common dialog control.

It's pretty clear how to use the showbrowsefolder method, and I like being able to set an initial folder, but the dialog is not sizable and the navigation without the task bar (as is now common in windows explorer) is not nice.

So, I'm trying to figure out how to use the showopen method to do this.  I want to be able to set an initial folder, filter the lists to only drives and folders and return only a folder.

Is it possible ?

Also, there is no documentation on DialogStyle.  Is there an enumeration for this ?

Thanks.

Bruce

	The BrowserDialog is a common-control from windows. CJ give you still access. The ShowOpen expect to select a file and not a directory. It's also a common-control in windows and can't be modified. You must then build your own control to solve this.
