There’s a tiny irritation with the "browse_for_folder1@" routine (and the BROWSEINFO structure link in the help file links to an out of date page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb773205.aspx).

The irritation is that if an initial path is set, it gets selected OK but the window doesn’t auto scroll to bring that path into the initial view.

does anyone know if there is a flag setting that can enable this?

For example: with the starting path set to "D:\data\clients\datafiles", the initial view always seems to start @ desktop with the selected folder way down the tree and thus not visible.

(i note that if i select “make new folder” button, the view 'jumps' perfectly to show the selected folder!)

TIA

That must be just one of a set of niggles that mostly we have to live with.

Here's a couple from me:

(1) The link to Browseinfo structure in browse_for_folder@ in FTN95.CHM doesn't work (Internet Explorer - itis?)

(2) Using the standard callback 'FILE_OPENR' has the action button 'Open' while 'FILE_OPENW' gives you 'Save', but the GET_FILTERED_FILE@ route only gives you 'Open' (I think) - but you are directed to the latter if you need to alter the file specification dynamically.

Thanks for the feedback. I have logged these issues for investigation.

Please try the following sample program. Does it do what you want?

Code:
winapp
program main
use clrwin
character path*256
logical folder
integer(7)::hwnd = 0
call set_browse_for_folder_initial@("C:\techsupport")
path = ' '
folder=browse_for_folder1@(hwnd, 'Find Folder', path, z'40')
i = winio@("%40st", path)
end program

1) The link works for me but I have to select "Yes" from the error dialog.

2) The first argument for GET_FILTERED_FILE@ sets the title.

Code:
     WINAPP
     PROGRAM sample
     INTEGER iw
     INTEGER,EXTERNAL::open_func
     iw = winio@('%ca[Sample]&')
     iw = winio@('%mn[&File[&Open,E&xit]]',open_func,'EXIT')
     END
!------------------------------------------------------------
     INTEGER FUNCTION open_func()
     USE mswin
     CHARACTER file*256,path*256,title*20
     INTEGER,PARAMETER::NFILTERS=2
     CHARACTER*20 filtname(NFILTERS),filtspec(NFILTERS)
     title = 'Open Fortran File'
     file  = ' ' !Or the path of a file.
     path  = 'C:\techsupport'
     filtname(1) = 'Fortran files'
     filtspec(1) = '*.f90'
     filtname(2) = 'All files'
     filtspec(2) = '*.*'
     CALL get_filtered_file@(title,file,path,filtname,filtspec,NFILTERS,1)
     IF(len_trim(file) == 0) file = "Open dialog cancelled by user."
     iw = MessageBox(0,file,"Sample",0)
     open_func = 2
     END

sadly, no. it illustrates the problem i reported in that, if you choose a "deep" path you can't see that folder in the initial view because the window doesn't auto-scroll.

Hi Paul,

In respect of (1), I wasn't expecting to have an error dialogue in the first place!

As for (2), it's not the caption, but the text on the action button. Just an observation, not a problem.

I appreciate that the error message is unwelcome. It is a Microsoft response that I don't know how to avoid. I guess that it has something to do with the chm compiler.
