Browse to a directory

[UJ]

How do you browse to a directory - much like file dialog except for
directories?

TIA - Jeffrey.

Is this what you need?

Dim obj As New FolderBrowserDialog
obj.RootFolder = 0
obj.SelectedPath =
Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolde r.MyPictures)
obj.ShowDialog()

That's exactly what I need.

Yet again - it's easy when you know what it's called. But trying to find it
is difficult.

Thanks again.

Forgot to mention

obj.RootFolder = 0

isn't necessary, but you can specify it of you for example only want to
show the mypictures directory like this

obj.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures
