I am using the FolderBrowserDialog to allow the user to choose a folder where to store files. I am also using the description property to give the user tips as to where to ideally place such a folder. However, the space for the description text only seems to allow 3 lines of text which is not enough for me. The rest of the text is getting truncated. Is there a way to force the dialog box to allow for longer descriptions?
Thanks in advance!
FolderBrowserDialog is a sealed class. You can’t derive a new class from it.
If you wanto to enlarge the Description label to accomodate for more than three lines, you need to use SubClassing methods which involve PInvoke and a lot of API Calls. This will become quickly really complex.
For what it’s worth, I suggest you try to shorten the description.
