Bas Oversteegen created the code: Alternative to PowerScript function GetFolder() + start path and create folder

GetFolderDialog() is an alternative to GetFolder() and is based on WinAPI IFileOpenDialog. Would be nice if PowerBuilder could provide something like this as a standard PowerScript function. Visual Studio 2017 getfolderdialog.dll sources (GetFolderDialog and GetFolderDialog_test solution) attached. See '.\GetFolderDialog\pb' for PB 12.5 example app. See doc dirs for VS project configuration and compilation instructions.

Gayathri - You might wish to download and examine the GetFileName sample app from Roland Smith's TopWizProgramming web site for an alternative to the PowerScript functions:

Thank you so much, Bas!!!

It works fine and looks much better than before using PB GetFolder()!

I added an alias at the end of the external Funktion Declaration and now i can use 32 or 64 call, depending of the environment.

Greetings and have a nice weekend
Stephan
