Are you asking yourself why doesn't he use the API's that have already been mentioned? Well I did and it works great, the only thing I didn't like about it was the you could not create a folder in the dialog if you wanted and I think the common dialog looks nicer with more options.

So...
Is there a way to hi-light a folder in the common dialog and click open and have the folder path passed like the API's do? I know how to set the filters and all just don't know how to return the folder path.

Thanks!
