Browse For Folder ....

Windows’ common dialogs are great if you want the user to select a file, but what if you want him/her to select a directory?

Call the following function, which relies on Win32’s SHBrowseForFolder function:


Option Explicit
Private Type BrowseInfo
hWndOwner As Long
pIDLRoot As Long
pszDisplayName As Long
lpszTitle As Long
ulFlags As Long
lpfnCallback As Long
lParam As Long
iImage As Long
End Type

Private Const BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS = 1
Private Const MAX_PATH = 260

Private Declare Sub CoTaskMemFree Lib "ole32.dll" (ByVal hMem As Long)
Private Declare Function lstrcat Lib "kernel32" Alias "lstrcatA" _
(ByVal lpString1 As String, ByVal lpString2 As String) As Long
Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32" _
(lpbi As BrowseInfo) As Long
Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "shell32" _
(ByVal pidList As Long, ByVal lpBuffer As String) As Long

Public Function BrowseForFolder(hWndOwner As Long, sPrompt As String) As String

Dim iNull As Integer
Dim lpIDList As Long
Dim lResult As Long
Dim sPath As String
Dim udtBI As BrowseInfo

With udtBI
.hWndOwner = hWndOwner
.lpszTitle = lstrcat(sPrompt, "")
.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS
End With

lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder(udtBI)
If lpIDList Then
sPath = String$(MAX_PATH, 0)
lResult = SHGetPathFromIDList(lpIDList, sPath)
Call CoTaskMemFree(lpIDList)
iNull = InStr(sPath, vbNullChar)
If iNull Then
sPath = Left$(sPath, iNull - 1)
End If
End If

BrowseForFolder = sPath

End Function

Good luck,

Thanks it's working in my macro but I found another way to make it

Dim objShell
Dim objFolder
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Example", 0,
txtFolder.Value)
If (Not objFolder Is Nothing) Then
txtFolder.Value = objFolder.self.Path
.....
End If
Set objShell = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
