    Is it possible to create a file dialog which allows browsing of a remote pc instead of local? If so, please provide some help links or advice. I am trying to write an application which will browse the directories of a remote pc. Thx in Adv. Yoshimitsu

      I've not tried it, but I'd imagine you'd be able to get or set a UNC path on the dialog.

        If you are talking about a local network, then you can just share the folders you want to browse. if you are talking about any computer on the internet, then you will have to create a server/client application, install the server on the remote computer, and the server will have to provide a protocol-like api for the client (you computer) to consume, including folder browsing requests.

            UNC is basically this: \\ServerName\ShareName\DirectoryName\FileName.ext
