FileSelectFolder - Windows 7 and later new window type

[ALIENQuake <alienquake@…>]

When one of the tool that I use ask me to select specific directory, it popups "Browse For Folder" window, which looks like this:

but in Windows 7 there is another window type, which looks like this:

Is there any way to use this new window type instead of old one?

Old

Very good question. I think this may be better off in the forum rather than on trac though.

There is a C# solution here: ​http://www.lyquidity.com/blog/?p=136

In terms of doing it from AutoIt: MS changed superseded all the old api call dialogs with objects, so now the file open/save dialogs both inherit from IFileDialog. My guess is that the new folder select dialog is the same.

I'll have a look later tonight hopefully and get you an AutoIt example.

Hello,
I already asked about this: ​http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/154698-fileselectfolder-windows-7-and-later-new-window-type/

Many thanks for you reply, the example for AutoIt would be great!
