When using the Common Dialog control ShowBrowseFolder method, if you don't set the Flags property before you call it, you get a nice sized box that can even be resized. It has the New Folder button and no Edit Box. I wanted the edit box there so I set the flags to just xtpBFEditBox. This makes the edit box work, but the New Folder button goes away, and now the box is smaller and cannot be resized. The only flags listed in the documentation are NoNewFolderButtton, BrowseForComputer and EditBox. How can I get the resizable style dialog with Edit Box AND New Folder button.

Also, this may be a bug. If I set the Flags property, right clicking a folder shows the "What's This" tooltip. If you don't set the Flags property at all and right click a folder, it attempts to create a context menu that fills the entire width of the screen. It has some icons on the left but no text at all. That is just messed up.
