Thanks for all the help on getting the Windows API function SHBrowseForFolder() to work with the "new dialog" features. In return, I've posted some compile-ready MB source code on my FTP site (BrowseFolder.mb at ftp://ftp.gisnet.com/pub/) for anyone who wants to see the details. If you try it and don't see the "New Folder" button, that means that your copy of Shell32.dll is too old.
My main difficulty with this was finding the values for defined constants referenced in the docs at Microsoft's MSDN web site. A couple of people mentioned the http://www.AllAPI.net site, but structures and constants are not mentioned there, either. IMHO, Microsoft's MSDN library (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/) is better, albeit not perfect. Andrew Canfield mentioned that the Windows Platform SDK can be downloaded from MS's site for developers, but I don't have that URL. He (and others) also said that you can get a free C/C++ compiler from Source Forge called dev-cpp that works in Windows. Both of these have the header files included with the Platform SDK being the most current. However, I was spared the effort of downloading all that thanks to some folks sending me the relevant header files. -- - Bill Thoen ------------------------------------------------------------ GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 http://www.gisnet.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 9094
