Hello -
How can I uses
FileSelectFile to select a folder?
I do not want to use the
FileSelectFolder function as I don’t like the default user interface.
This is what I’m using so far, but It’s not working.
Code: Select all
FileSelectFile, SelectedFolder, 2, %a_workingdir% , Select a folder ,folder(_)
msgbox The Path you selected is %SelectedFolder%
return
All help is appreciated,
Thank you.

This code here
https://github.com/flipeador/Library-AutoHotkey/blob/master/dlg/ChooseFolder.ahk works but needs a tweak. The function Direxist needs to be replaced by Fileexist in all places. But then running:
works (though it seems a bit slow). This was included in a post mentioned by
@Flipeador .

@flyingDman All my code in
GitHub is written for
AHKv2. If he uses
v1, he must use the code I posted in the post in
the link I put above.

I see. Well I now also see that there is a direxist function.
Code: Select all
DirExist(DirName)
{
loop Files, % DirName, D
return A_LoopFileAttrib
}
I did not intend to convert a v2 script back to v1. My confusion. Apologies.

Thanks everyone for the help so far. I'll take a closer look at all that and see what one will work best for me.
By the way I'm using AHK version V1.1.30
