Browse for Folder

[shelbym]

CorelDRAW 11 / 12: I need to browse for a folder....I am trying to use Alex's code from his Thumnailer program. It works fine except if I go back to the BrowseFolder window is doesn't remember what folder was selected. It alwasy defaults to My Computer. It does remember the folder in the Thumbnailer version. The only line I changed was this:

    sFolder = BrowseForFolder(AppWindow.Handle, "Select the folder to process", sFolder)
    If sFolder <> "" Then
        txtSource.Text = MergeMask(sFolder, sMask)
    End If

Change to:

Dim sFolder As String
sFolder = BrowseForFolder(AppWindow.Handle, "Select the Folder Where Your Files Will Be Stored.", sFolder)

If sFolder <> "" Then
    txtPath.Text = sFolder
End If

Baically removing the calls to the MergeMask as I don't need that. Any ideas would be great.

Shelby,

Do you retrieve the previous folder path from your text box into sFolder variable? Note that it is passed as an input parameter (the last parameter) for BrowserForFolder function?

In theory, you need something like this (note the last parameter):

Dim sFolder As String
sFolder = BrowseForFolder(AppWindow.Handle, "Select the Folder Where Your Files Will Be Stored.", txtPath.Text)
