Yet Another Better Browse for Folder

This module provides a Win2K interface to the Browse for Folder under Win95/98.

This is not an update to my earlier submissions but a complete rewrite using pure API. With Win2K MS introduced a new DLL (SHELL32.DLL Version 5.0) which includes a better Edit box, Popup menu and a New Folder button. With this module you can achieve the same result (except the Popup menu) using the old DLL (SHELL32.DLL Version 4.71) as used by Win 95/98. Additionally you can add a checkbox, customise captions for Titlebar, OK button, Cancel button, New Folder button. You can also resize the Browse for folder window. Additionally you can choose to open the dialog double size or full screen. All the usual features are present, such as include files, start at special folders etc. You can select between the old style Editbox or the Win2K style editbox (Much better I think.)

Why bother? - Not everyone is running Win2K. Very easy to call. Heavily commented and includes complete sample usage. Please vote if you find this useful.
