WPF OpenFileDialog and FolderBrowserDialog

[ausadmin]

I am wondering if anyone can point me to some code (or DLL) to build a native OpenFileDialog and FolderBrowserDialog in wpf / xaml, rather than using the System.Windows.Forms controls? We have now replaced the Forms MessageBox with a native WPF taskdialog, which looks much better and behaves more consistently. I would like to do the same for OpenFileDialog and FolderBrowserDialog. Thanks, Tim

WPF has a OpenFileDialog class in the Microsoft.Win32 namespace. For Folder Browser dialog, see my blog[^] I thought Pete O'Hanlon was working on a WPF version at one time :) It's definitely a project to make a WPF version to replace the OS dialogs...

I have been working on one - it's something that I keep coming back to when I have some free time. It's a hell of a complex beast though, as I'm trying to make it completely skinnable.

I've only just been able to get back to this question - sorry for the long delay in responding. I guess it looks like this is a complex issue - I'll keep wrapping the System.Windows.Forms controls for the time being, and look out for further developments on this question. Hopefully Microsoft might build something into a future version... Thanks, Tim
