Hi Luis

My 0,02EUR cent:
Check ctl32 https://ctl32.blogspot.com/ , there is a ctl32_openfiledialog and a ctl32_safeiledialog to start with.

For all I remember one can mimic the openfildialog to getdir(), but somehow don't use it.

I have a slightly altered version of this, and use #DEFINE to redirect all my GETFILE() GETPIC() and PUTFILE() to it. Since this is all old stuff, you must check if the ctl32 stuff is compatible with the build in functions or not.

GetDir() is ctl32_folderbrowserdialog ...
