DIrectoy selection, and creating

[BoudewijnEctor]

Hi, I've created a directory selection dialog (thanks to some people here at CP), but I thought it's nice to have some of creating a folder from this dialog. I you can't, you have to creat one yourslef, using explorer. I know how to create a folder in MFC, but you can use that function from the dialog! Help me please,

Why can't you create a folder? What is happening?

No, I just need to get a button (called new directorie, or something) to create a new directory, without having to rewrite this diialog. So, do you know wether there is some kind of flag to enable this sort of feature?

What dialog are you using? A standard one or a homegrown dialog?

Here's my code, it's very standard (got parts of it from people at CP:)) BROWSEINFO* b=new BROWSEINFO(); LPTSTR buf=new TCHAR[MAX_PATH]; int image=-1; b->hwndOwner=this->m_hWnd; b->iImage=image; b->lpszTitle="Please select a directory for your input:"; b->pidlRoot=NULL; b->pszDisplayName=buf; b->ulFlags=BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES; LPITEMIDLIST x=SHBrowseForFolder(b); if(x==NULL) { return; } LPTSTR buf2=new TCHAR[MAX_PATH]; bool gelukt=SHGetPathFromIDList(x,buf2); CString pad=buf2; if(!gelukt) { error_scherm e; e.set_text("It seems that the directory you've selected is corrupt, if this problem persists please contact the developer."); e.DoModal(); return; } delete [] buf; // Delete the memory when you're finished with it. delete [] buf2;

You need to include the style BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE with your SHBrowseForFolder. simply AND it into the ulFlags: b->ulFlags=BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES & BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE; You then get a slightly different dlg, but that is newer one.

Thanks, but this isn't working (altough i'm using win2k and the newest IDE (.NET 2003)), is there some other way to do this?

[jhwurmbach]

You can try this[^] article. Or this[^] one. Sorry, I do not have much time to help you today, but with reading MSDN, code examples from the links I gave and own experiments you should be able to force the 'New Dir' button on the folder open dlg.
