Here's what eventually worked:

  Dim AppTypes as New FileType

  AppTypes.Name="Application Types"
  AppTypes.MacType="appl;APPL"

  Dim f as FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem(AppTypes.MacType)
  if f <> Nil then
    MsgBox f.AbsolutePath
  end if

I don't understand why this won't though:

  Dim AppTypes as New FileType

  AppTypes.Name="Application Types"
AppTypes.Extensions="app" (or .app, or APP, or .APP or .app with a space)

  Dim f as FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem(AppTypes.Extensions)
  if f <> Nil then
    MsgBox f.AbsolutePath
  end if

Anybody?

Doesn't work that way either. Besides, don't most Mac apps have the ".app" extension, which should be a viable way to filter?

This is driving me batty...

Here's the code:

  Dim AppTypes as New FileType

  AppTypes.Name="Application Types"
  AppTypes.Extensions=".app"

  Dim f as FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem(AppTypes)
  if f <> Nil then
    MsgBox f.AbsolutePath
  end if

All I want to be selectable in the dialog box is applications, but with above code, everything is selectable.

What am I missing?

I think you missing:  AppTypes.MacType = "APP"
