Syntax   (dcl-SelectFolder Title [as String] {DefaultDirectory [as String]} {RootFolder [as String]} {Flags [as BitFlag]})

Flags Value Bit Meaning
1 0 Only return file system directories. If the user selects folders that are not part of the file system, the OK button is disabled.
2 1 Do not include network folders below the domain level in the dialog box's tree view control.
4 2 Include a status area in the dialog box. The callback function can set the status text by sending messages to the dialog box. This flag is not supported when 6 is set.
8 3 Only return file system ancestors. An ancestor is a subfolder that is beneath the root folder in the namespace hierarchy. If the user selects an ancestor of the root folder that is not part of the file system, the OK button is disabled.
16 4 Include an edit control in the browse dialog box that allows the user to type the name of an item.
32 5 Not used.
64 6 Use the new user interface. Setting this flag provides the user with a larger dialog box that can be resized. The dialog box has several new capabilities, including: drag-and-drop capability within the dialog box, reordering, shortcut menus, new folders, delete, and other shortcut menu commands.
128 7 The browse dialog box can display URLs. Bits 6, 4, and 13 must also be set. If any of these bits are not set, the browser dialog box rejects URLs. Even when these bits are set, the browse dialog box displays URLs only if the folder that contains the selected item supports URLs.

512 9 Do not include the New Folder button in the browse dialog box.
