Hi Desmond,

Check out the FileFolder::browseForFolder (and browseForServerFolder) method - the dialog is a little "bland", but it does the job.

darrell.

I've tried direct picker. But 'mask' property of FildFolder won't work, so I pick files directly not via Browser.
The source is below.

viewSystemDir()updating;
vars
f : FileFolder;
s : Integer;
fl, fl2 : FileNode;begin

create f transient;
foreach fl in f.files do
if fl.fileName = '\WINDOWS' then
break;
endif;
endforeach;

foreach fl2 in fl.FileFolder.files do
if fl2.fileName = '\WINDOWS\FONTS' then
break;
endif;
endforeach;

foreach s in 1 to fl2.FileFolder.files.size do
write fl2.FileFolder.files[s].fileName;
endforeach;
// write f.files[1].FileNode.name;

delete f;
end;

Above processor takes a lot of time.
Any other idea?

You could try...

viewSystemDir()updating;
vars
f : FileFolder;
fl : FileNode;begin

create f transient;
f.fileName := 'c:\WINDOWS\FONTS';

foreach fl in f.files do
write fl.fileName;
endforeach;

epilog
delete f;
end;
