I want to use the Common Dialog control (or something similar) to allow the user to select a directory. I've seen it done before in applictions, and was wondering if VB provides any controls or such for that.
Thanks for your help.

There are no controls that I know of but Randy Birch from VBNET has a sample using APIs that can do this using the API interface into Windows
go to VBNET.com and scrounge around for a sample that looks something like "FolderExists"

I looked before I lept. Apparently VBNET.com is undergoing renovations and is not available but you might try
Http://www/Planet-Source-Code.com/VB
there is a wealth of info there and I am sure you can find what you want

Take a look at :

- this is a single BAS module you can drop in your code to show the Browse/Folders window and return the selected folder name.
