hi Hamid, thanks a lot for replying me. i want to make implementation simple so what i have done is: i have taken 1 button, on click event i have implemented as below: void Logfilepath::OnBrowse() { // TODO: Add your control notification handler code here { CFileDialog FileDialog(TRUE,"*.*",NULL,OFN_HIDEREADONLY,"Text Files: (*.txt)|*.txt||",this); if(FileDialog.DoModal() == IDOK) { CString PathName = FileDialog.GetPathName(); // CString PathName1 =FileDialog.GetFolderPath(); m_ctrledit.SetWindowText(PathName); } } } now with this implementation i am able to select files but i want to select only folder. what other implementation i should do so that i will be able to select folder and not file?

I hope this little sample code will help you if you want to select the folder, void CFolderSelectionDlg::OnBrowseClick() { BROWSEINFO brwsInfo; ZeroMemory(&brwsInfo,sizeof(BROWSEINFO)); int iImage = 0; char szFolderPath[MAX_PATH]; char szTitle[255]; memset(szFolderPath,'\0',sizeof(szFolderPath)); memset(szTitle,'\0',sizeof(szTitle)); brwsInfo.hwndOwner = GetSafeHwnd(); brwsInfo.iImage = iImage; brwsInfo.lpfn = NULL; brwsInfo.pidlRoot = NULL; brwsInfo.pszDisplayName = szFolderPath; brwsInfo.lpszTitle = szTitle; //InitCommonControls(); ITEMIDLIST *ptrItemList = SHBrowseForFolder(&brwsInfo); if(ptrItemList != NULL) m_strFolderPath = szFolderPath; UpdateData(FALSE); } this is the simplest. if you want all advanced functionality, you should inherit yoour custom fileDialog class. please go thourh the MSDN.you have to write your version of virtual void OnFolderChange(); virtual BOOL OnFileNameOK(); best of luck...

You were suggested to use
SHBrowseForFolder(). Why show code that does otherwise? :confused:"Love people and use things, not love things and use people." - Unknown
