Members

hwndOwner

Handle of the owner window for the dialog box.

pidlRoot

Pointer to an item identifier list (an ITEMIDLIST structure) specifying the location of the "root" folder to browse from. Only the specified folder and its subfolders appear in the dialog box. This member can be NULL, and in that case, the name space root (the desktop folder) is used.

pszDisplayName

Pointer to a buffer that receives the display name of the folder selected by the user. The size of this buffer is assumed to be MAX_PATH bytes.

lpszTitle

Pointer to a null-terminated string that is displayed above the tree view control in the dialog box. This string can be used to specify instructions to the user.

ulFlags

Value specifying the types of folders to be listed in the dialog box as well as other options. This member can include zero or more of the following values:

BIF_BROWSEFORCOMPUTER
Only returns computers. If the user selects anything other than a computer, the OK button is grayed.
BIF_BROWSEFORPRINTER
Only returns printers. If the user selects anything other than a printer, the OK button is grayed.
BIF_DONTGOBELOWDOMAIN
Does not include network folders below the domain level in the tree view control.
BIF_RETURNFSANCESTORS

BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS
Only returns file system directories. If the user selects folders that are not part of the file system, the OK button is grayed.
BIF_STATUSTEXT
Includes a status area in the dialog box. The callback function can set the status text by sending messages to the dialog box.
