Via email from Colin Haig. Short story, make it like the one that appears in ACP. This means eliminate the usage of the NEWUI flag. The same Browse.bas logic is used in both.



Also, it does not pre-select what is there, and worse hitting Cancel erases the path field.

Pre-select the current path in the Catalog Folder browse window. Use the simple/smaller folder browser.
GEM:1829

 

This turned into a real adventure. set the code in Browse.bas. The SHBrowseForFolder call, combined with the callback that sends BFFM_SETSELECTIONA to cause it to default to showing the previously selected folder, worked perfectly ... except... when trying to pre-select the J:\ATLAS parent folder. I'm assuming this is because of the 324,000 files in 5 subfolders.



So I discovered that  you can do a SendMessage with a PIDL instead of a string in the initialize callback. So I added code to call SHParseDisplayName() to translate the incoming folder string to a PIDL, then used that in the BFFM_INITIALIZED event callback to set the opening location of the browse folder. It works!!
