' Example Usage:
'
' Create a new project with a textbox (Text1)
' and a command button (Command1) on Form1.
'
' Insert this line into Command1_Click
'
' Text1.Text = OpenDirectoryTV(Form1, "Place your title or message here!")
'
'
' Run the project, click the button, browse for a folder,
' and click Ok. That was easy, huh?
