I need to be able to select folders using the native Windows 7 open

  • 0

I need to be able to select folders using the native Windows 7 open dialog, ie. not by using SelectDirectory().

I currently have a procedure that calls up a dialog using TOpenFileName, which works quite well.

Is there a hidden flag that I can use to ensure the dialog only allows the selection of a folder, where the button changes to “Select Folder”?

Note: I don’t want to use Delphi’s standard TFileOpenDialog. I would prefer to stick to my own functions for this.

    No there is not. You need to use TFileOpenDialog which wraps IFileDialog which is the system component that provides this functionality.
