Improved FileBrowserDialog or OpenFileDialog?

Michael A. Covington

Has anyone created either...

(1) a version of OpenFileDialog that can select folders, not just files; or

(2) a version of FileBrowserDialog that is a little more user-friendly (more
like OpenFileDialog)?

Thanks!

Just in case you hadn't noticed, there's a FolderBrowserDialog class in the
1.1 framework.

Right - sorry - I called it by the wrong name. It's rather primitive unless
it has features that aren't obvious. I was looking for something that does
the same job but is much more like an OpenFileDialog.
