[GD-Windows] Choosing a folder with a dialog

[Pascal G. <pas...@ar...>]

Anybody knows which Win32 function to use (maybe MFC based) to allow the
user to select a folder not file ??
Using CFileDialog is fine for files but it only allows me to select a folder
that already contains a file. I'd like to be able to select any folder.

Happy coding,
Pascal.

I have been searching for a while in the MSDN, for a .NET equivalent.
It's weird, it does not seems implemented, so if you've got it :)

Choosing a folder with a dialogAnd PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make it possible =
for the user to type
in the folder name. I have no words for how much I hate programs which
make me click through My Network Places -> domain -> workgroup -> name =
of server
-> name of share -> etc. when I could just have typed =
\\serv2\proj1\folder3 .
