Folder Browser Dialog Upload Images   Link   Email  
Kevin Robertson 
The Folder Browser Dialog that comes with Visual Studio, in my opinion, is very poor. It uses Environment.SpecialFolder to set the Root Folder, but this only works with certain settings as illustrated in my first screenshot.

Is there a way (besides writing my own Class) to create a Folder Browser Dialog like the one in my second screenshot? I can do something similar with the Open File Dialog so that it behaves like the Folder Browser Dialog but obviously the static labels can't be changed and it still shows files.

I've never understood why you couldn't use all the functionality

Haha you tried
CommonOpenFileDialog, that could be set into a IsFolderPicker

Microsoft.WindowsAPICodePack-Shell

Thanks Alex. Got that working eventually - looks so much better.
When I Googled how to code it. Every pages I found was in C#. Was able to translate into VB without too many problems.

VB is always left behind.
You should blog about it!
How does it look? I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

I haven't experimented with ANY of this yet. I'm definitely behind when it comes to Visual Studio.

@Rich you should upgrade some of your old VB6 apps as an exercise.
