I am making a backup utility, and i want to be able select a "source" directory, is there a way to to do it with the FileOpenDialog() function?

$var = FileOpenDialog("title", StringLeft(@SystemDir, 3), '')
GUICtrlSetData($hCtrl, $var)

when i use this, i have to select a file, or multi select files, i would rather just select a folder.
