Open folder
Hi.. I'm using Delphi 6 in Windows XP, and I want the user to choose the folder name in which he will use the data in that folder as the database. I want to get the folder name which the user has chosen.. Is it using Open Dialog Box or using something else? Any help will be very much appreciated :) Thanksss..

Hi again meikl.. I already found how to do it.. hehehehehe thanks a lot for your helpp :):):) U're really great! :)
glad you got it,
to use another dialog-style,
just use the other syntax
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender
var s : string;
begin
s := '';
if selectdirectory('Select A Directory','',s) then
showmessage('Directory '+s+' is selected');
end;

You could use:
1) TDirectoryListBox from Win3.1
2) TDirectoryEdit from RX components (http://sourceforge.net/projects/rxlib/)
for selecting folder names.
