show current folder in folder browser?

[FlyingBear]

Hi,

I have a program load the saved folder (from last use) into a textbox, now, user click browse button, it launch the folder browse dialog, I can use selectedpath to set selected folder, but most of time, the folder is deep in the c:\, so, the folder browser dialog window does not show it, user has to scroll down to find it.

is there a way to automatically show the selected folder in the view?

if this can not be done in default folder browser dialog, is there an existing class/control can do this? or, have to write a tree view from scratch (including adding new folder,....) which is really what I want to avoid.



thanks

I don't see that happening here (VB10/WinXP), when the dialog opens the .SelectedPath folder is near the bottom of the dialog, no need to scroll down.

Using fbd As New FolderBrowserDialog
    With fbd
        .SelectedPath = "C:\WINDOWS\system32\Microsoft"  ' < deep sub folder
        .Description = "Select Folder"
        If .ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
            TextBox1.Text = (.SelectedPath)
        End If
    End With
End Using
