Was much easier to convert MiniBASIC code to Aurora than I first thought. Here is the code needed to print selected browser to a console screen:

// folder_browse.src
// Compile as console


SUB main()
{
dstring folder = GetFolder(null,"Select a folder");
print ("Selected directory:");
print(folder);

int run = 1;
do
{
wait();
}
until run = 0;
}


struct BROWSEINFO
{
    UINT hOwner;
    UINT pidlRoot;
    POINTER pszDisplayName;
    POINTER lpszTitle;
    UINT ulFlags;
    UINT lpfn;
    INT lParam;
    INT iImage;
}

DECLARE IMPORT,SHGetPathFromIDList(int pidl,string pszPath),INT;
DECLARE IMPORT,SHBrowseForFolder(BROWSEINFO lpbi),INT;
DECLARE IMPORT,CoTaskMemFree(int pidl);  
DECLARE IMPORT,ZeroMemory ALIAS RtlZeroMemory(pData as POINTER,length as INT);
declare import,SHParseDisplayName(WSTRING pszName,UINT *pbc,UINT *ppidl,UINT sfgaoIn,UINT *psfgaoOut),INT;
declare import,SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(UINT hwnd,int nFoloder,UINT *ppidl),int;


/* subroutine to open the system folder browser */
SUB GetFolder(UINT hwnd,string title),STRING
{
DSTRING path[260];
BROWSEINFO bi;
UINT lpIDList;
UINT pRoot,pTemp;
//initialize variables
path[0] = 0;
ZeroMemory(bi,LEN(bi));
//for Windows XP and above we can use SHParseDisplayName which can take a file path
//such as "c:\\progs" or a CLSID. The CLSID being used is for the My Computer folder.
SHParseDisplayName(s2w("::{20d04fe0-3aea-1069-a2d8-08002b30309d}"),NULL,pRoot,0,pTemp);
//for all Windows version this gets the pidl of the My Computer folder.
//So if you are targeting Windows 9x and above use this instead
//SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(null,0x0011,pRoot);
bi.pidlRoot = pRoot;
bi.hOwner = hwnd;
bi.pszDisplayName = path;
bi.lpszTitle = title;
bi.ulFlags = 0x00000041;
lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder(bi);
if lpIDList <> 0
{
SHGetPathFromIDList(lpIDList,path);
CoTaskMemFree(lpIDList);
}
RETURN path;
}

/* other common CLSID's for use with SHParseDisplayName:
My Documents ::{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}
Programs Folder ::{7be9d83c-a729-4d97-b5a7-1b7313c39e0a}

*/



EDIT: Code updated to make the program terminate properly when compiled in Aurora.

The attached zip contains a source file in iwbasic and an exe file.
The exe demonstrates what I think he he is wanting to do.
It opens the folder browser
if you select a folder it closes the browser
(as part of demo) it immediately reopens browser with the last selected folder
you can keep repeating the process as long as desired
select CANCEL to exit demo loop.

demonstrates that all you have to do is save selection and reload it to make it work.

Hi,
still stuck on this one... i'm trying to translate larry's example but i want to return the string from the sub
i got invalid assigment for the line "lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);"
anyone see it ?


//Open Browse for folder dialog, return folder path
GLOBAL SUB BrowseFolders(CWindow *win, Pointer title, opt Pointer lpszFolder, opt INT newfolder , opt STRING root),STRING
{
    BROWSEINFO bi;
//Make sure COM is active
    CoInitialize(NULL);
RtlZeroMemory(&bi,LEN(bi));
//initialize variables
string returndir;
Unsigned int lpIDList;

//set the root folder
if root <> ""
{
bi.pidlRoot = GetPIDLfromPATH(win, s2w(root));
}
else
{
bi.pidlRoot = null;
}

bi.hwndOwner = win->GetHandle();
bi.lpszTitle = Title;
bi.lpfn = /**(BFFCALLBACK)*/&BrowseForFolderCallback;
bi.lParam = *(unsigned int)lpszFolder;

//newfolder button
    IF (newfolder)
{
        bi.ulFlags = 0x00000001|BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE;
}
    ELSE
{
        if !newfolder | newfolder = null
    {
          bi.ulFlags = 0x00000001;
        }
    }


lpIDList = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);
if (lpIDList)
{
if (SHGetPathFromIDList(lpIDList,&returndir))
{

RETURN returndir + "\\";
}
    CoTaskMemFree(lpIDList);
}

    returndir = "";
    RETURN returndir;
}

SUB BrowseForFolderCallback(HWND hwnd,UINT uMsg,LPARAM lp, LPARAM pData), LPARAM
{
Unsigned Int dwStyle;
string szPath;

Select(uMsg)
{
case BFFM_INITIALIZED:
SendMessage(hwnd, BFFM_SETSELECTION, TRUE, pData);
//Remove the ? from the caption - optional
            dwStyle = GetWindowLongA(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE);
            IF (dwStyle & WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP)
{
                SetWindowLongA(hWnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, dwStyle || WS_EX_CONTEXTHELP);
        }
case BFFM_SELCHANGED:
if (SHGetPathFromIDList( lp ,szPath))
{
//Set the window text to the path
                szPath= "\x0";
SendMessage(hwnd, BFFM_SETSTATUSTEXT,0,szPath);
SetWindowTextA(hWnd, szPath);
}
Case BFFM_VALIDATEFAILED:
            Return 1;
}

return 0;
}

here's is the file i use for my software...
if it can help... good sub in it too ;)
you have to add the file to your project and declare the extern at the top in the file you need the function
you have also to install windows headers that i found somewhere on the forum for aurora
