Select Folder

[robierzo]

Hello. I am using this code to select a folder.

(setq shl (vlax-create-object "Shell.Application"))
  (setq path (vlax-invoke shl 'browseforfolder 0 "Selecciona carpeta" 512 "D:\\Rober\\Raiz\\"));OBJ carpeta
  (setq path (vlax-get-property (vlax-get-property path 'self) 'path))

But it won't let me go back. In the example, it doesn't allow me to visit the "Rober" folder. How can I solve it?
Thank you.

That is a problem inherent in the "BrowseForFolder" Method; whatever path you start with becomes the root, and you can't navigate above it.

This requires the Express tools, but using the function (acet-ui-pickdir "Select a folder:" "C:\\Temp\\") does not have this issue.
