SelectFolderEx() - new dialog on Win Vista+

13 Jun 2016, 04:32

Related: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=18764

The function is using the Common Item Dialog to select folders on Win Vista+ providing a almost identical UI for selecting files and folders (at least on WIn 10 here):

Code: Select all

; ==================================================================================================================================
; Shows a dialog to select a folder.
; Depending on the OS version the function will use either the built-in FileSelectFolder command (XP and previous)
; or the Common Item Dialog (Vista and later).
; Parameter:
;     StartingFolder -  the full path of a folder which will be preselected.
;     Prompt         -  a text used as window title (Common Item Dialog) or as text displayed withing the dialog.
;     ----------------  Common Item Dialog only:
;     OwnerHwnd      -  HWND of the Gui which owns the dialog. If you pass a valid HWND the dialog will become modal.
;     BtnLabel       -  a text to be used as caption for the apply button.
;  Return values:
;     On success the function returns the full path of selected folder; otherwise it returns an empty string.
; MSDN:
;     Common Item Dialog -> msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776913%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
;     IFileDialog        -> msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775966%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

I have replaced all FileSelectFolder with SelectFolderEx in my program SavePictureAs.

Do I have your permission to release SavePictureAs with SelectFolderEx with proper credit given?

Awesome function!

Here is my contribution, so that after click on the TreeView (on the left hand side of the dialog), Select Folder button can be applied immediately:

Code: Select all

If !DllCall(NumGet(VTBL + GetResult, "UPtr"), "Ptr", FileDialog, "PtrP", ShellItem, "UInt") {
	GetDisplayName := NumGet(NumGet(ShellItem + 0, "UPtr"), A_PtrSize * 5, "UPtr")
       	 If !DllCall(GetDisplayName, "Ptr", ShellItem, "UInt", 0x80028000, "PtrP", StrPtr) ; SIGDN_DESKTOPABSOLUTEPARSING
            SelectedFolder := StrGet(StrPtr, "UTF-16"), DllCall("Ole32.dll\CoTaskMemFree", "Ptr", StrPtr)
        !SelectedFolder? DllCall(NumGet(VTBL + SetTitle, "UPtr"), "Ptr", FileDialog, "WStr", SelectedFolder, "UInt"): "" ; added
        ;InStr(FileExist("C:\Users\RRR\My Ahk-s"), "D", 1)? "": SelectedFolder:= "" ; not needed, Dialog will propmpt by itself if folder doesn't exist
        ObjRelease(ShellItem)
}
P.s: DllCall in the added ternary, is bluntly copy-pasted from the line above in this function. (First I used ControlGetText, then I noticed the script already refers to value in that control)

EDIT3: Just had an issue if #Warn is present in the script: "Warning: This variable has not been assigned a value.", so I had to add Local ShellItem:= StrPtr:= FolderItem:= "" to the starting declaration of the function to prevent it.

Hello!

Is it possible to have this dialog transformed into a files selector with filters set?

EDIT: After reading about the APIs on MSDN, it should be possible.... I would like some help with this, in particular, setting filters or «file types».

Thank you .

Best regards, Marius.

I'm not sure what you want to do. AHK's FileSelectFile is already using the 'Common Item Dialog' on newer Windows versions.

It does not allow multiple filters:, like Images (*.jpg; *.png) and Docs (*.rtf; *.txt).... this is what i desperately need... It would be a great help this.

The Dlg2 Common Dialogs library hasn't been updated in a few years but it does allow for multiple filters to be set. It might be useful until this function is updated. The "multiple filters" logic in the library might could be used in this function.

Thank you very much . I think it is enough for my needs.

Hello!

I extended the function to allow adding a combo-box/list into the dialog, based on a different thread i found some time ago... And also custom places /folders list.

Code: Select all

SelectFolderEx(StartingFolder:="", Prompt:="", OwnerHwnd:=0, OkBtnLabel:="", comboList:="", desiredDefault:=1, comboLabel:="", CustomPlaces:="", pickFoldersOnly:=1) {
; ==================================================================================================================================
; Shows a dialog to select a folder.
; Depending on the OS version the function will use either the built-in FileSelectFolder command (XP and previous)
; or the Common Item Dialog (Vista and later).
;
; Parameter:
;     StartingFolder -  the full path of a folder which will be preselected.
;     Prompt         -  a text used as window title (Common Item Dialog) or as text displayed withing the dialog.
;     ----------------  Common Item Dialog only:
;     OwnerHwnd      -  HWND of the Gui which owns the dialog. If you pass a valid HWND the dialog will become modal.
;     BtnLabel       -  a text to be used as caption for the apply button.
;     comboList      -  a string with possible drop-down options, separated by `n [new line]
;     desiredDefault -  the default selected drop-down row
;     comboLabel     -  the drop-down label to display
;     CustomPlaces   -  custom directories that will be displayed in the left pane of the dialog; missing directories will be omitted; a string separated by `n [newline]
;     pickFoldersOnly - boolean option [0, 1]
;
;  Return values:
;     On success the function returns an object with the full path of the selected/file folder
;     and combobox selected [if any]; otherwise it returns an empty string.

Re: SelectFolderEx() - new dialog on Win Vista+

Hi Marius,
Would you mind giving an example of creating the combo box's list and then using a selection from it?
I can see that you can create the list either with a continuation section or adding newlines in a string to separate the entries, and the combo box appears just fine, but I'm uncertain as to how to proceed from there.
Nice work!

Re: SelectFolderEx() - new dialog on Win Vista+

The function returns the object which contains both the selected folder and the selected entry from the combo list.

In my image viewer I create a list of previously opened folders within the application and I offer users the ability to quickly access them without having to browse to them. When the user selects a folder from the combo box list I ignore the current folder of the dialog box, I use the one selected in the list. In this instance, the group name is "history" and the default, first entry is... "use current folder", such that I don't force users to select from history only ^_^.

Another use case would be to have options like "open recursively" or anything else.... It's up to you what options you want to have and how to proceed when the user selects this or that.

Now, I'd only like to have it work with file filters as well...

I hope my reply is clear enough for you.

Best regards, Marius.

Yes, that's clear now. An admittedly absurd example:

Code: Select all

combolist =
(
one banana
two banana
three banana
)
obj := SelectFolderEx("","Primate", 0, "Good primate!", combolist, 1, "Cheetah want ")

msgbox % obj.SelectedDir ; selected directory
msgbox % obj.SelectedCombo ; combo selection
exitapp
Thank, Marius!
