Is there a way to reliably cross platform way to use a UNC path to
create a FolderItem so that I do not have to rely on whether a volume is
mounted? The following code works on Windows but not on Mac OS X. This
was just a simple experiment but since it worked on Windows I am hopeful
that something similar would work on the Mac.
Dim dlg as New SelectFolderDialog
Dim f,Vol as FolderItem
Dim s As String
Vol = GetFolderItem("\\10.113.20.21\diraid")
dlg.ActionButtonCaption="Select"
dlg.Title="Select Folder"
dlg.PromptText="Select a folder from the UNC Path"
dlg.InitialDirectory= Vol
f=dlg.ShowModal()
if f <> Nil then
s = "The path to the selected folder is: " + f.AbsolutePath
MsgBox s
else
//user cancelled
end if
