Excluding network drives from OpenFileDialog

[woogoo]

Hi All,

Is there a way to exclude Network drives from an OpenFileDialog box or prevent their selection, or do I have to do it the hardway?

something like this will do it.

        Dim flddlg As New FolderBrowserDialog
        flddlg.RootFolder = Environment.SpecialFolder.MyDocuments
        flddlg.ShowDialog()

Thanks but I'm using an OpenFileDialog and this method isn't supported. So I ended up with:

' User has selected a file so get the file's drive info.
Dim m_Info As DriveInfo = My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDriveInfo(m_FD.FileName.Substring(0, 1))
' Check to see if the drive is local
If (m_Info.DriveType = DriveType.Fixed) Then
    ...
End If

I would rather have the drives filtered, so the user doesn't get frustrated, so I'll mayby roll my own later if needed.
