Remarks

This class provides a way to prompt the user to browse, create, and eventually select a folder. Use this class when you only want to allow the user to select folders, not files. Browsing of the folders is done through a tree control. In .NET Core 3.1 and later versions, this class uses the modernized file system browser window. Only folders from the file system can be selected; virtual folders cannot.

Typically, after creating a new FolderBrowserDialog, you set the RootFolder to the location from which to start browsing. Optionally, you can set the SelectedPath to an absolute path of a subfolder of RootFolder that will initially be selected. You can also optionally set the Description property to provide additional instructions to the user. Finally, call the ShowDialog method to display the dialog box to the user. When the dialog box is closed and the dialog box result from ShowDialog is DialogResult.OK, the SelectedPath will be a string containing the path to the selected folder.

You can use the ShowNewFolderButton property to control if the user is able to create new folders with the New Folder button.

FolderBrowserDialog is a modal dialog box; therefore, when shown, it blocks the rest of the application until the user has chosen a folder. When a dialog box is displayed modally, no input (keyboard or mouse click) can occur except to objects on the dialog box. The program must hide or close the dialog box (usually in response to some user action) before input to the calling program can occur.

Constructors

FolderBrowserDialog()

Initializes a new instance of the FolderBrowserDialog class.

Properties

AddToRecent

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box adds the folder being selected to the recent list.

AutoUpgradeEnabled

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether the dialog will be automatically upgraded to enable new features.

CanRaiseEvents

Gets a value indicating whether the component can raise an event.

(Inherited from Component)
ClientGuid

Gets or sets the GUID to associate with this dialog state. Typically, state such as the last visited folder and the position and size of the dialog is persisted based on the name of the executable file. By specifying a GUID, an application can have different persisted states for different versions of the dialog within the same application (for example, an import dialog and an open dialog).

This functionality is not available if an application is not using visual styles or if AutoUpgradeEnabled is set to false.

Container

Gets the IContainer that contains the Component.

(Inherited from Component)
Description

Gets or sets the descriptive text displayed above the dialog box.

DesignMode

Gets a value that indicates whether the Component is currently in design mode.

(Inherited from Component)
Events

Gets the list of event handlers that are attached to this Component.

(Inherited from Component)
InitialDirectory

Gets or sets the initial directory displayed by the folder browser dialog.

Multiselect

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box allows multiple folders to be selected.

OkRequiresInteraction

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the OK button of the dialog box is disabled until the user navigates the view or edits the filename (if applicable).

RootFolder

Gets or sets the root folder where the browsing starts from.

SelectedPath

Gets or sets the path selected by the user.

SelectedPaths

Gets the paths of all selected folders in the dialog box.

ShowHiddenFiles

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box displays hidden and system files.

ShowNewFolderButton

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the New Folder button appears in the folder browser dialog box.

ShowPinnedPlaces

Gets or sets a value indicating whether the items shown by default in the view's navigation pane are shown.

Site

Gets or sets the ISite of the Component.

(Inherited from Component)
Tag

Gets or sets an object that contains data about the control.

(Inherited from CommonDialog)
UseDescriptionForTitle

Gets or sets a value that indicates whether to use the value of the Description property as the dialog title for Vista style dialogs. This property has no effect on old style dialogs.

Methods

CreateObjRef(Type)

Creates an object that contains all the relevant information required to generate a proxy used to communicate with a remote object.

(Inherited from MarshalByRefObject)
Dispose()

Releases all resources used by the Component.

(Inherited from Component)
Dispose(Boolean)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Component and optionally releases the managed resources.

(Inherited from Component)
Equals(Object)

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
