How to open a FileDialog to select a folder

[french_eddy]

Hi,

My software need to ask a user to select a folder in a explorer, or to create and return the new folder.

I found that "FileSelectPopup(ex)" can select only a file.

By other way the "Filebrowser" lib that open a browser in a tree control seem a very old look.

I found that "OpenFileDialog" of windows SDK or "IFileDialog" COM object could select a folder.

Is it possible to use one of them from CVI, or to create a instrument with "Tools... Create a active X controler" ?

Is this another way to show the folders, create one, and return the new path ?

What about DirSelectPopupEx to select a folder?

The full version of CVI comes with the Win32 SDK so in this case you can also use the native Windows function.
