I am using BrowseInfo with BrowseForFolder to let the user select a folder but I want to specify a certain directory as the root directory. I am trying to use the function SHSimpleIDListFromPath(str<wbr />ing path of folder) to get the PIDL of the folder. The problem is that I don't know the right syntax for the declaration of the function.<br />

I get the error &quot;Can't find DLL entry point SHSimpleIDListFromPath in shell32.dll&quot; Can anybody help me?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
