There are any option on common dialog such as showopen just for dir?

There are any option on common dialog such as showopen just for folders?
The problem is that showopen just works for files...
:-(

 

[AndyDuke]

Don't think there is an option for the common dialog, but you could try the DirListBox control which does show directories only.

Look for the browse for file FAQ.
