Not yet (I answer optimistically) 
You could use the System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog.
Choose Folder Dialog in WPF[^]

I got the hint. I've started putting one together. Who knows, it might even get turned into an article.
However, it's not going to look like the standard folder dialog (unless you want it to). It'll be a styled Folder dialog control.

Heh. Cool!
I considered that when I read the post....I'm just too busy this month.
I'll "evaluate" (the tech term for "steal") yours though!

Nope - but I can now get the *real* icons from folders now. That's not bad for a day

Cool!
I whipped up a wrapper around the shell dialog, just so
you wouldn't think I was sitting here doing nothing...

Yeah, you done yet? What ya doin postin on 'ere!! Get to work! 
Way back when I start my project I wanted to do a custom one but I just didn't/still don't have the experience to do something like that yet. So I reluctantly used the OS one.
I think this control will go down REALLY well with the WPF peeps at large, its jarring to the user to go from a nice UI like WPF can achieve to a ghastly old looking dialog.

That's kind of the thought I had. There's a lot of work needs to be done in the browser integration P/Invoke stuff and all that, but I like the thought that we can have a WPFy version.
|
|
|
|

Absolutely agree.
It was precisely this OS level integration (P/Invoke stuff) that concerned my attempting it. The permutations involved in this kind of dialog are not to be underestimated.

Hi guys,
What about OpenFileDialog? I couldn't find anything in WPF. Should I use Microsoft.Win32.OpenFileDialog? It works but not suitable for Great WPF 
When you're alone in the Dark, Fear will protect you...
|
|
|
|

The link I posted above (in my first reply to this thread) shows
the use of OpenFileDialog as a folder browser. Look in the blog
responses 
I tested it - it works, I just didn't like it....a real folder picker
is better IMO.

You're welcome.
I've added the folder browser message callback handler and the
following initialization properties and associated functionality:
public string SelectedFolder { get; protected set; }
public string InitialFolder { get; set; }
public string InitialExpandedFolder { get; set; }
public string OKButtonText { get; set; }
If you can use the new code, send me an email here and I'll send it
in a reply.
Cheers,
Mark

I was mentioning to Pete a couple weeks ago how I
often have problems working with XAML in Visual Studio
which kept me kind of discouraged about using it, and the
wonderful add-on tools available from him and Karl.
This morning, after a couple weeks of error-free development
and really getting into the VS designer (over Blend), again I
couldn't work with any XAML files. Visual Studio crashed before
I got through my first cup of coffee.
Time to report this to MS. It took about 30 seconds to find the
already-filed bug report (don't know why I couldn't find it months
ago...wrong keywords I guess).
Here it is:
WPF Designer fails to load in VS.NET 2008 SP1 (RTM)[^]
The workaround fixed me instantly. I never imagined setting the startup
project to a Win32 or MFC project would be associated with the XAML designer.
I never made that association while I was working - it just seemed random.
Maybe this will help someone else (or maybe I'm the only one that still works
with native projects)
Cheers,
Mark

Good catch Mark, and what a weird issue. Nice one.
BTW - there's a new MoXAML available here[^].

Hi All,
I have a custom WPF control (say X). I have a text box(say Y) in X. I will be placing X in a System.Windows.Window object (say Z). Now I want the text in Y to be based(bound to) on a string/int value in X. Now this value of the string/int in X will be based on some value in Z. Hope Iam clear. How can I use data binding to achieve the same? Any help would be highly appreciated.
