Adding Directory selection to FileOpenDialog

[gregma]

I hope this hasn't been covered a million times!! I have searched for
alternatives to selecting a directory or multiple directories using
FileOpenDialog, and haven't found anything like I need. I need the exact
capabilities of FileOpenDialog, just with the added ability to add
directories. I need the MultiSelect also! Has anyone added this
functionality to the existing FileOpenDialog?

Thanks!

For your information, there is a class called
System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog (1.1 only) which can be used
to bring up a "Browse for Folder" dialog. However, as far as I know,
this can only be used to select *single* folders.

I am aware of FolderBrowserDialog, but as you mentioned it does not allow
multiple select, which I need.

I think you'd have to create your own kind of dialog for this, in that
case. Either that or use one someone else has already made for this
purpose.

Good luck.
