I have been using the CDlgEx class in my programs for many years. http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=631
This includes functions for displaying most available Windows dialogs,
including those commonly called from VB (e.g., File Open, File Save, Print)
and those less commonly called (e.g., the system's Find All Files Dialog).
Trouble is the Find folder dialog no longer functions under Windows Vista.
You get a window full of foreign characters.
Is there a better version or update that works with Vista? 5  3093

Can you try padding the DialogPrompt property to 255 characters with
null characters?
Prompt = Prompt & String(255 - Len(Prompt), vbNullChar)
I have seen this dialog "break" on all versions of windows when the
prompt is shorter than that.

I tried this but it still comes up with a scramble.
Could someone please copy the code from this page into a blank project and
run it. I can't get it to work with Windows Vist at all. http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=631
That demo works perfectly on Vista. the Find Files button opens a window
that says "to begin, type in the search box".

The demo has poor implementation of the common control APIs.
For the browse code, delete the line in ShowFolders:
bi.pidlRoot = SHSimpleIDListF romPath(mInitDi r)
.... and try now. And BTW, the enum constant for Folder_INCLUDEF ILES should
be &H4000, not &H4001. And the .uiflags Or test in ShowFolders should also
be tweaked to read &H4000 rather than &4001.
Since the demo has problems (the browse and other calls on that demo that
fail on vista) you should review http://vbnet.mvps.org/code/browse/browseadv.htm to see how to properly
implement code to restrict the scope of the browse dialog.

I've got code that works when started normally (explorer, command

place when started with debugging (F5) and other place when started
without debugging ( CTRL+F5).
The same code works correctly on W2K/W2K3/XP. All modules are C++ code.
The Visual Studio 2003 must be currently used due to 3rd party
libraries. It has the SP1 installed.

A very odd error with Python 2.5 (both 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 from the
official msi installers and running on Vista under Parallels on the
Mac).
'import site' fails due to a string in sys.path that contains a huge
number of null bytes.
The error is actually in ntpath - I adjusted it to print the paths it
is working with and a string on encountering the bad path.
