browse for folder dialog use

[nickt]

Can I use the Browse For Folder dialog to browse for folders AND files at the same time? (like the browse window you get when creating a new shortcut on the desktop)
I've tried changing the flags on the SHBrowseForFolder function but no joy, it only shows folders.

Isn't the browse dialog (creating the shortcut) just the CommonDialog.ShowOpen ?

Add

Const BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES = &H4000

to the ulFlags field of the BrowseInfo structure you pass to SHBrowseForFolder.

Ps. the user need to have Internet Explorer 4.0 or later installed. Sunaj

many thanks
"Const BIF_BROWSEINCLUDEFILES = &H4000"
worked a treat.
I'd had that variable in before but had it set to &H4 for some reason.
