How can I change the caption when I use FileSelectFolder

Recommended Posts

I don't think that you can mainly because it's using a built-in Windows function, and secondarily because it pauses the script until you close out of it so even a WinSetTitle won't work because it won't be called until after the window is closed. You'd have to create your own dialog if you wanted something else for the title, although I've been proven wrong about that many times in the past. :graduated:

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

There is a function to change the title "WinSetTitle()". I tried for an example from my side but i couldn't :graduated:. Please have a try with this function.

I'm pretty sure my description of the problem explains why WinSetTitle won't work for a modal dialog box like this.

How can I change the caption of SelectFolder window and button.

Tested with XP/Vista x86

AdlibRegister does not work here, so timer API calls used.

This can also be done with the UDF version of openfolder /w callback that Siao? posted,

or using the method Ward posted recently, and a thousand others on the forum.

Issue with FileSelectFolder and title with flag option.

WinTitleMatchMode lower case match required, because...

flag option: 0, 4 = 'Browse for Folder'

flag option: 1, 2, 6, 7 = 'Browse For Folder'

Opt("MustDeclareVars", 1)
;vars for _OpenFolder
Global $CallBack, $sFSFTitle = "Set Title", $sBtnOK = "OK Then", $sBtnCANCEL = "Well, Maybe", $sStc3Folder = "YourText"
Global $sFolder = _OpenFolder("Choose your folder", "", 6, "", 0)
If Not @error Then MsgBox(0, "Folder Name", $sFolder)
Func _OpenFolder($sText, $sRootDir = "", $iFlag = 0, $sInitDir = "", $hParent = 0)
Local $iOpt = Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", -1) ; force lower case match - Browse for Folder or Browse For Folder
$CallBack = DllCallbackRegister("_FolderCallback", "int", "hwnd;uint;uint_ptr;dword")
Local $aRet = DllCall("User32.dll", "uint_ptr", "SetTimer", "hwnd", $hParent, "uint_ptr", 24681012, _
"uint", 50, "ptr", DllCallbackGetPtr($CallBack))
If @error Or $aRet[0] = 0 Then DllCallbackFree($CallBack)
Local $sTemp = FileSelectFolder($sText, $sRootDir, $iFlag, $sInitDir, $hParent)
Local $iError = @error
Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", $iOpt)
If $CallBack <> 0 Then DllCallbackFree($CallBack)
If $CallBack <> 0 Then DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "KillTimer", "hwnd", $hParent, "uint_ptr", $aRet[0])
Return SetError($iError, 0, $sTemp)
EndFunc
Func _FolderCallback($hWnd, $Msg, $iIDTimer, $dwTime)
#forceref $Msg, $dwTime
Local $aWin = WinList("[TITLE:Browse for Folder; CLASS:#32770]")
If @error Or $aWin[0][0] = 0 Then Return
For $i = 1 To $aWin[0][0]
  If Not IsHWnd($aWin[$i][1]) Or WinGetProcess($aWin[$i][1]) <> @AutoItPID Then ContinueLoop
  WinSetOnTop($aWin[$i][1], "", 1)
  WinSetTitle($aWin[$i][1], "", $sFSFTitle)
  ;ControlSetText($aWin[$i][1], "", 14150, $sBtnFolder, 1) ;[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:1] ;Make New Folder
  ControlSetText($aWin[$i][1], "", 1, $sBtnOK, 1);[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:2] ;1 ;OK
  ControlSetText($aWin[$i][1], "", 2, $sBtnCANCEL, 1) ;[CLASS:Button; INSTANCE:3] ;2 ;CANCEL
  ControlSetText($aWin[$i][1], "", 14152, $sStc3Folder, 1) ;"[CLASS:Static; INSTANCE:3]" ;Folder
  DllCallbackFree($CallBack)
  $CallBack = 0
  DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "KillTimer", "hwnd", $hWnd, "uint_ptr", $iIDTimer)
  ExitLoop
Next
EndFunc

Hi Member,

_WinAPI_SetWindowText(ControlGetHandle($hWnd, '', '[CLASS:Button;INSTANCE:1]'), ':-)')
_WinAPI_SetWindowText(ControlGetHandle($hWnd, '', '[CLASS:Button;INSTANCE:2]'), ':-(')

How can I start with the folder: "My Computer"?

Tks,

Look in the Help file for AutoIt for "CLSIDs of Special Folders", the most common ones are in there.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

Hi,

I know this: FileSelectFolder("Xin chọn thư mục để cài đặt","::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}")

But I want to use the function of Yashied.

Use the following (I replace it in the next release).

Func _WinAPI_BrowseForFolderDlg($sRoot = '', $sText = '', $iFlags = 0, $pBrowseProc = 0, $lParam = 0, $hParent = 0)
 
    Local $tBROWSEINFO = DllStructCreate('hwnd;ptr;ptr;ptr;int;ptr;uint_ptr;int;wchar[' & (StringLen($sText) + 1) & '];wchar[260]')
    Local $PIDL = 0, $Path, $Result = ''
 
    $Path = _WinAPI_PathSearchAndQualify($sRoot, 1)
    If @error Then
        $Path = $sRoot
    EndIf
    $PIDL = _WinAPI_ShellILCreateFromPath($Path)
    If @error Then
        ; Nothing
    EndIf
 
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 1, $hParent)
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 2, $PIDL)
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 3, DllStructGetPtr($tBROWSEINFO, 10))
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 4, DllStructGetPtr($tBROWSEINFO, 9))
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 5, $iFlags)
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 6, $pBrowseProc)
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 7, $lParam)
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 8, 0)
    DllStructSetData($tBROWSEINFO, 9, $sText)
 
    Local $Ret = DllCall('shell32.dll', 'ptr', 'SHBrowseForFolderW', 'ptr', DllStructGetPtr($tBROWSEINFO))
 
    If @error Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, '')
    Else
        If Not $Ret[0] Then
            Return ''
        EndIf
    EndIf
    $Result = _WinAPI_ShellGetPathFromIDList($Ret[0])
    _WinAPI_CoTaskMemFree($Ret[0])
    If $PIDL Then
        _WinAPI_CoTaskMemFree($PIDL)
    EndIf
    If Not $Result Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, '')
    EndIf
    Return $Result
EndFunc   ;==>_WinAPI_BrowseForFolderDlg

And

$Path = _WinAPI_BrowseForFolderDlg('::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}', 'Select a folder from the list below.', BitOR($BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS, $BIF_EDITBOX, $BIF_VALIDATE), $pBrowseProc, _WinAPI_CreateString($InitDir, $tData))
