Hi,

I have big problem. I work on project in which user define folder
(directory). First I use commondialog control and to get folder user need to
select file and then press Open button.
Is there any way too get just folder (like in explorer).I have control
treeview on my mind but I dosn't know a lot about it.
Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Let Windows take care of this for you:

End Function


Sub Test()
Dim sPath As String
