"SelectFolderDialog" in .NET

Question

There is no SelectFolderDialog in .NET, but it is present in Visual Studio 2010 .

I was wondering if there is any external .net component similar to this form.

Here is the VS2010 dialog:

Note that I do not want to use FolderBrowserDialog , and I need to get the specific interface described in SelectFolderDialog

Answer 1

To access the new new Vista folder selection dialog , I think you need either:

• Use a third-party component or
• Use your own IFileDialog component.

Option 2 is simple enough using the Windows API API code . You need to enable the FOS_PICKFOLDERS parameter. CodePack comes with many examples. I recommend it to you.

Answer 2

Here is a library that provides access to the folder dialog, etc. http://www.ookii.org/software/dialogs/

This is a wrapper around several Win32 dialog boxes, it provides both Windows Forms and WPF options, and it also provides the Vista SelectSolderDialog style that you, for example, displayed.
