virtual L_INT LDialogFile::DoModalGetDirectory(hWndOwner)

HWND hWndOwner;

/* handle of the window which owns the dialog */

Displays the Get Directory dialog box, and allows the user to browse the file system for a folder or directory.

Parameter	Description

Comments

LDialogFile::SetDirectoryParams must be called before using this function to set the initial values for the dialog. You can get the updated GETDIRECTORYDLGPARAMS with the values entered by the user through the dialog by using LDialogFile::GetDirectoryParams.

The Get Directory dialog is shown in the following figure:
