API for selecting directory

S

SF

Hi.

I have a form to let user export some predefined query. I want to provide
user a way to browse to his/her directory. Is there a way to call api so
that user can browse to that directory and save the directory path in a text
box?

Click to expand...

In addition to Arvin's response Stephen Lebans www.lebans.com has some
API code that will open the folder browser at the folder specified.
This can be quite nice for the user as it can start at either a
location previously specified or at, for example, C:\Documents and
Settings\<user name>\AppData\<your app folder>
