>>Hi All,
>>
>>For many years we're using GetFileEx() as the alternative to GetFile(). Now I have a requirement that is not covered by any of the flags. I want to exclude HIDDEN FOLDERS. In other words, I want hidden folders to indeed remain hidden and therefore not choosable. How can this be done?
>>
>>Another thing. Is GetFileEx() still the way to go in Windows10? Or has it been replaced by a more modern API?

Hi Tamar,

It has been moved to: https://github.com/VFPX/VistaDialogs4COM

I like what I saw. However, hiding a hidden FOLDER is not part of the default set of options.

Thanks for the tip.

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
