FolderBrowserDialog in MFC

Hi,

I'm building MFC application and i'd like to use FolderBrowserDialog...but it seems there isn't a control in the toolbox with this name like C# and VB...

Is there any other options???

Thanks

Use SHBrowseForFolder API.

well i tried to use CFileDialog but i'm sure this is not the best way as i have to select the file included in the folder then i get the folder name...

CFileDialog fileDlg(TRUE, NULL, NULL, 4|2, 0, this, NULL);
if (fileDlg.DoModal() == IDOK)
{
CString FolderName = fileDlg.GetFolderPath();
}

also i got an error in this command "Command Assertion Failed" !!!

Where?
Did you press the Retry button to debug your code and see the reason of the "Assertion Failed"?

Perhaps you missed Victor's post.


From MSDN, about GetFolderPath(). "The dialog box must have been created with the OFN_EXPLORER style; otherwise, the method will fail with an assertion."

4/2 = 2/1 = 2 :d

:D
But there is a pipe, not a slash between 4 and 2.

Maybe he finds it easier to use numerical constants instead of names like OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT ;)
