Creating a directory selection dialog

[Koxin]

Hello,
does anybody know how to create a dialog, similar to File Open or Save As dialogs, that would enable me to select a directory? I need a dialog where the user could choose a directory into which the output files of the application will be saved. I suppose such dialog should be possible to create by setting some parameters in the CFileDialog::CFileDialog() constructor. Anyway, I tried searching the MSDN and haven't found anything yet.

thanks for your answer,

Koxin

use this...

	if ( <Object Of this class>.GetFolder(<string to receive which folder is selected>, "Any string.", this->m_hWnd, NULL, NULL))
	{
		if (!<string to receive which folder is selected>.IsEmpty())
		{

Thats how you can use it. Have fun

herez the code which will let u do that

if (::SHGetPathFromIDList(lpItemIDList, szBuffer))
     {
        // At this point, szBuffer contains the path 
        // the user chose.
        if (szBuffer[0] == '\0')
        {
           // SHGetPathFromIDList failed, or
           // SHBrowseForFolder failed.
           AfxMessageBox(IDP_FAILED_GET_DIRECTORY,
              MB_ICONSTOP|MB_OK);
           return strResult;
        }
     
        // We have a path in szBuffer!
        // Return it.
        strResult = szBuffer;
        return strResult;
     }
     else
     {
        // The thing referred to by lpItemIDList 
        // might not have been a file system object.
        // For whatever reason, SHGetPathFromIDList
        // didn't work!
        AfxMessageBox(IDP_FAILED_GET_DIRECTORY,
           MB_ICONSTOP|MB_OK);
        return strResult; // strResult is empty 
     }

nd if u need documentation search for "browse for folder non-com way"
string in MSDN library. It will give u watever u require.
