    I experience this issue with two programs:- Mozilla Thunderbird: when i'm trying to attach a file to an email, the dialog windows opens and the moment i select a folder the application crashes - ST Cube Programmer from ST Microelectronics: happens the same, when the file dialog appears and i select any folder the application crashesI'm running Windows 11 on an Acer Aspire 3, it's 3 years old now and never had such issues. Both applications have been installed recently 1-2 weeks ago approx. ST Cube Programmer has been uninstalled and installed again but still experience the issue.

    Opening a Folder in VC++

    Jack28,
    I would look into using a FolderBrowserDialog object in your application. This will open a dialog that lets you select a folder. Then use
    Code: FolderBrowserDialog1.selecteditem[/quote] to return the output string of the folder into a textbox, set the textbox enabled property to false so that they cannot type in the path, they have to get the path by selecting the folder using the folder browser.
    This will endure your program never throws a directory not found exception and crashing itself.
    This is what I have always doen and it works quite nicely.

    This is what I have always doen and it works quite nicely. Click to expand... This is .NET, not native Win32
