Get folder by dialog

mr.burns

Hi all,

I need a function where a folder dialog is shown and a user can pick a folder.
This folder should be returned into a variable.

I had a similar problem with a file, this I solved by a var of type
Dlg: = 'Common Dialog Management'

Then Dlg.openfile...

But with this I can only get files, but I need a user to pick a folder, how can I do this?

Thanks for any help,

best regards!

When you use
textvar pathtofile := Dlg.OpenFile(..) and then remove everything in pathtofile that ist behind the last \ (e.g. C:\textfile.txt -> C:\) you have the folder path.
I don't have the code in mind to remove everything behind the last \, but that will be a 2-minute work...

Search the forum for "folder", and you find this thread: Get a Folder (Not Reg. new DLLs). The solution of janpieter works well.
