Hi,
in a max external, i need to open a dialog to select a folder. How can i do that? Is there any source code?

select-folder-dialog-in-external

char path[MAX_PATH_CHARS];
short result, vol;

result = getfolder(&vol);
if (!result) {
    path_topathname(vol, NULL, path);
    post("%s", path);
}


You can call getfolder with something like that:

char path[MAX_PATH_CHARS];
short result, vol;

result = getfolder(&vol);
if (!result) {
	path_topathname(vol, NULL, path);
	post("%s", path);
}


thank you. The next problem is that the folder dialog needs a sort of "promptset". Something like

folder_promptset("Please select the xyfolder");

open_promptset doesn't change the dialog, i tried.
