MythBusted Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 This is something that has probably been answered quite a few times, so I apologize for bringing it up once more. I've had limited luck searching for an answer. I'm developing a script where I have an input control in my GUI. In this input box I ask the user for the path of the working directory. But rather than just have the user type the whole path, I'd like to have an option similar to any Windows application to be able to browse the mapped local and/or remote directories with a Windows explorer type of window, and have the user select the directory from this browser window. I haven't figured out a way to do this, so many thanks in advance for any help you can give me. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted October 9, 2006 Share Posted October 9, 2006 from the help file: FileSelectFolder -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Initiates a Browse For Folder dialog. FileSelectFolder ( "dialog text", "root dir" [, flag [, "initial dir"]] ) Parameters dialog text Text greeting in dialog. root dir Root directory of GUI file tree. Use "" for Desktop to be root. flag [optional] 1 = Show Create Folder Button (requires IE6.0 or later) 2 = Use New Dialog Style (requires IE5.0 or later) 4 = Show Edit Control (to type a foldername) initial dir Initial/start directory that will be selected if exist. Return Value Success: Returns full path of the folder chosen. Failure: Returns "" (blank string) and sets @error to 1 if user cancels/closes the window. Remarks The root dir will be chosen if the initial dir (if given) does not exist. A nonexistent root dir will also cause the Desktop folder to be root. The "Create Folder Button" option may require Windows XP with IE6 in order to work. Special Windows folders (such as "My Documents") can be set as root by using the right CLSID detailed in the Appendix.

Thanks again!im not sure if the gui can be done but you could use a button to press then get that button to run the command FileSelectFolder ( "dialog text", "root dir" [, flag [, "initial dir"]] ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 The brows for folder is a GUI that allows for one to select the folder they want. You can preset it so it has a default.
