Have a look at
SHBrowseForFolder()instead. It's specifically designed for allowing the user to choose folders rather than files.CFileDialogdesigned for choosing files, not folders.Ryan

Hi keerthikaaa, maybe it is some helpful to you CFileDialog m_dlg(1); m_dlg.DoModal(); GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1)->SetWindowText(m_dlg.GetPathName()); -- modified at 2:35 Tuesday 11th April, 2006 BROWSEINFO bi; TCHAR m_DisplayName[MAX_PATH]; m_DisplayName[0]='\0'; memset(&bi, 0x00, sizeof(bi)); bi.hwndOwner = this->m_hWnd; bi.pszDisplayName = m_DisplayName; bi.ulFlags = BIF_EDITBOX; LPITEMIDLIST pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi); if (pidl) SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, m_DisplayName); GetDlgItem(IDC_EDIT1)->SetWindowText(m_DisplayName);

I recomend you to use Davide Calabro's CFileDialogST[^] - very good for folder selection!

Have you got a special file type that has a ".dir" extension? File-system directories don't end in ".dir" normally. By specifying this filter, you'll only allow files that end in ".dir" to be shown in the list control.
