Hello Forum,

Cannot praise OpenDCL enough for the lift in my ACAD applications.

Can somebody advice me, whether the File Dialog and File Explorer controls are the right path to follow to get a dialog for selection of a folder instead of a file?
If yes, then maybe also some hints to which properties/methods which will be the ones get me there.
If no, then suggestion to alternative for getting a "Select folder" dialog.

Thanks in advance
Carsten

You could probably get something to work, but an easier way would be to use DosLib dos_getdir function.
