Selecting a directory dialog

[Ray Price]

Is there anyway I can use the common dialogs
SaveFileDialog for example, to select a directory? Seems
it just opens the directory when I select it, and I don't
see any flags to turn that functionality off.

Thanks

Hello,

Is there anyway I can use the common dialogs
SaveFileDialog for example, to select a directory? Seems
it just opens the directory when I select it, and I don't
see any flags to turn that functionality off.

..NET 1.1
"FolderBrowserDialog Class" (System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/e...WindowsFormsFolderBrowserDialogClassTopic.asp

Note that there is a bug in the .NET Framework 1.1 that causes a really
bad error when using a path which is longer than ~128 characters. This
occurs on Unicode systems only. Use the P/Invoke solutions mentioned
below instead.

..NET 1.0
P/Invoke solutions:
