Open Directory

[Ariez]

I need an OpenDirectory dialog, like the OpenFileDialog but without the need to specify a file. The dialog would return the path to the dir not a file.

Is this something i have to write, or is there already a control for this?

Yeh, I went looking for that too, seems it has to be done a more difficult way. Here's the best I could come up with on the web =p

LOL yeah, not exactly a pretty sight. But it's something to learn from ^.^

well after all, its just a listview, 2 folder icons, and very simple navigate functions.
We could also trick a SaveDialog into this. The filename would need to be disabled or even hidden. Give it a default filename and then extract the path without this filename. (the dialog caption would also need to be changed)

I'm not into owner drawing, but if someone has a simple way to go about this, i'd be happy to hear..
Thanx
