Question

I want to allow user to click a “Browse” button and display a folder selection dialog to allow user to select a folder on user’s HDD. How do I do it? The closest control I could find in VC++ 6 is the dialog to browse file name

Thanks!

I use this class from codeproject, which is a wrapper for SHBrowseForFolder. It provides an interface similar to that of CFileDialog:

CFolderDialog dlg(sTitle, sInitialPath, pParentWnd, nFlags);

if(dlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
    CString sSelectedFolder = dlg.GetFolderPath();

    // Whatever
    // ...
}
