Hi mk-soft,
I've done it now.
But nothing changed.
Btw., it is Windows 7 Professional x64 german version with Service Pack 1 and all updates.
It is really strange that no one other have the same behaviour.
I'll go now to test it on an other PC with the sme configuration.

Hm...
I can not reproduce it on an other PC.

Hu, that's strange.
I cannot reproduce the problem here (PB 5.10 final on Windows XP x86),
regardless of whether I create the test folders on a FAT32 drive or on a NTFS drive,
and regardless of whether I compile the program in ASCII or in Unicode mode.

Maybe only I.
But I use it to save my old software versions (for example).

I agree, but don't manually manage your software
Use Fossil instead.
All your files and data in 1 SQLite database and a simple cross platform command line and html gui for administration.

Hi Danilo,
I can check it on monday, because the 'bug' happens on my office PC.

Hi Danilo,
both initializations don't work.
Still I can't see the .xxx part of the directories.

I was to fast.
Your example works fully. Also PB is showing the .000
Than I did some additional tests:
If I use
Code: Select all
SHBrowseForFolder_(@dir.BROWSEINFO)
PathRequester("","")
The PB Requester shows it correct too.
If I comment out the SHBrowseForFolder_() PB shows not the .xxx stuff
It looks like that something is not correct initialized.
After the first call to SHBrowseForFolder_() it is initialized and the PB Requester works Ok.

We use #BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE | #BIF_EDITBOX as style, may be it makes a difference ?

Hi Fred,
you are right, it depends on this flags:
Code: Select all
Define dir.BROWSEINFO
; fails
;dir\ulFlags = #BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE | #BIF_EDITBOX
; fails
;dir\ulFlags = #BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE
;works !!!
dir\ulFlags = #BIF_EDITBOX
SHBrowseForFolder_(@dir)
#BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE is
From MS Dev-Center:
Note If COM is initialized through CoInitializeEx with the COINIT_MULTITHREADED flag set, SHBrowseForFolder fails if BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE is passed.
maybe that's the explanation.

We don't use this flag anywhere in PB source tree. The flag #BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE makes a big difference here on Windows 8, so I think we will have to keep it. It's also wierd than it occurs only on one PC, may be you have installed a program which install an explorer hook ?

Hi infratec,
you mentioned 'work pc'. Maybe there are some group policies activated, prohibiting the expected action? Could be some explorer, system, or even internet explorer policies...
