BUG + FEATURE REQUEST: FolderBrowserDi alog = broke and useless

Hi,

The following code shows the FolderBrowserDi alog = broken.

FolderBrowserDi alog folderDialog = new FolderBrowserDi alog();
folderDialog.Sh owNewFolderButt on = false;
folderDialog.Sh owDialog();

Setting ShowNewFolderBu tton to false does bugger all. If I set this to
false it is STILL shown. Genius.

There is also NO WAY to set the root directory to MY OWN path. It MUST be
a SpecialFolder , can we have this so we can set it to any path of our own
choosing?

Thanks

[Morten Wennevik]

Considering that I could set both my own path and have the "make new
folder" button go away, I'd say you are wrong.

Hi,

I do not see the problem, there is a bug in this control concerning path
names longer than 128 characters, but this I did test and works like I would
expect.

FolderBrowserDi alog folderDialog = new FolderBrowserDi alog();
folderDialog.Se lectedPath =
Environment.Get FolderPath(Envi ronment.Special Folder.Personal );
folderDialog.Sh owNewFolderButt on = false;
folderDialog.Sh owDialog();

I pasted that personal folder also in it.

I hope this helps?

Considering I just did that and it fails.

What version are u using because I am on 2003 upgraded from 2002 and its NOT
working.

Just because it works for you doesnt mean it isnt buggy on other setups.

You assume the world orbits around you.

That code I pasted FAILS on mine.

I DONT want to use the SPECIAL BLOODY FOLDER hence the feature request. I
cannot put in MY OWN path.

And I have the show new folder set to FALSE as you can see and its SHOWN on
the dialog. So its a version bug that you dont have but I do.

Let me clarify the Special Folder request

I want to set the .RootFolder to MY OWN root. Not a predefined SPECIAL
FOLDER.

And I cannot get that NewFolder button to go away with either TRUE OR FALSE,
so its a bug in my version and not yours. Geddit.

Well, it works when compiling with the csc.exe coming with Framework 1.1
About the setting your own definition of root, are you trying to prevent
users from accessing parent folders or just setting a startup folder which
works with
SelectedPath = "C:\\Windows\\S ystem32";

That doesnt restrict the parent accessing.
