Customising the browse for folder dialog to show the path

Question

Does anyone know what is the simplest way to customise the System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog so a path can be entered using text in a textbox below the tree.

I want this so it's easy to select unmapped UNC paths.

This trick here kind of scares me.

Looks like this KB kind of helps.

Answer 1

Try under code project folder browser - this allows customizing the dialog in many ways.

Also in social.msdn.microsoft.com there is a post that suggest creating a form of your own for that and even suggest the code for it.
