Win32 BrowseForFolder.
Creates a dialog box that enables the user to select a folder.
This small procedure is part of a larger programm that lets you choose a directory and manipulate its contents i.e combines nicely with File::Find
use Win32::API;
use Cwd;
sub choose_dir {
$SHBrowseForFolder=new Win32::API('shell32.dll','SHBrowseForFolder
+','P','N');
$SHGetPathFromIDList=new Win32::API('shell32.dll','SHGetPathFromID
+List','NP','N');
my $display="CHOOSE starting directory...";
my $BrowseInfo=pack('LLLpLLLL',0,0,0,$display,0,0,0,0,0);
my $pidl=$SHBrowseForFolder->Call($BrowseInfo);
my $dir=pack('x100');
$SHGetPathFromIDList->Call($pidl,$dir);
$dir =~ s/\0//g;
chdir $dir;
print "current dir: ",cwd();
}
choose_dir;

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
