Yet Another Better Browse for Folder

MrBobo  (49 Submissions)   Files/File Controls/Input/Output   Visual Basic 3.0   Advanced   Wed 3rd February 2021

This module provides a Win2K interface to the Browse for Folder under Win95/98.
This is not an update to my earlier submissions but a complete rewrite using
pure API. With Win2K MS introduced a new DLL (SHELL32.DLL Version 5.0) which
includes a better Edit box, Popup menu and a New Folder button. With this module
you can achieve the same result (except the Popup menu) using the old DLL
(SHELL32.DLL Version 4.71) as used by Win 95/98. Additionally you can add a
checkbox, customise captions for Titlebar, OK button, Cancel button, New Folder
button. You can also resize the Browse for folder window. Additionally you can
choose to open the dialog double size or full screen. All the usual features are
present, such as include files, start at special folders etc. You can select
between the old style Editbox or the Win2K style editbox (Much better I think.)
Why bother? - Not everyone is running Win2K. Very easy to call. Heavily commented
and includes complete sample usage. Please vote if you find this useful.
