[GuanRui]How to open Path browse dialog in VBA of ArcGIS Desktop ?

there are 2 ways to open a path browse dialog in VB/VBA. and there is a little diffenent between VB and VBA.

Way No.1 : Legacy VB

1. Add a new module in you VB project .

2. Copy & Paste the code below:

Const BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS = &H1

Private Type SHITEMID

    cb As Long

    abID As Byte

End Type

Private Type ITEMIDLIST

    mkid As SHITEMID

End Type

Private Type BROWSEINFO

    hOwner As Long

    pidlRoot As Long

    pszDisplayName As String

    lpszTitle As String

    ulFlags As Long

    lpfn As Long

    lParam As Long

    iImage As Long

End Type

Private Declare Function SHGetPathFromIDList Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "SHGetPathFromIDListA" (ByVal pidl As Long, ByVal pszPath As String) As Long

Private Declare Function SHBrowseForFolder Lib "shell32.dll" Alias "SHBrowseForFolderA" (lpBrowseInfo As BROWSEINFO) As Long

Private Function GetDir(ByVal szCaption As String) As String

    Dim bi As BROWSEINFO, idl As ITEMIDLIST, rtn As Long, pidl As Long, pos As Long, path As String

    bi.hOwner = Me.hwnd        (Change Me.hwnd to Application.hwnd when you currently use VBA)

    bi.lpszTitle = szCaption

    bi.ulFlags = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS

    pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(bi)

    path = Space(512)

    rtn = SHGetPathFromIDList(ByVal pidl, path)

    If rtn Then pos = InStr(path$, Chr$(0)):   GetDir = Left(path, pos - 1)

End Function
3.In your form, call GetDir(Application.hWnd, "Select a path")

Way No.2 : VB for Application

1. In the VB6 IDE pull down the Project menu and select References. In the
resulting dialog box scroll down to "Microsoft Shell Controls and Automation"
and check the box, then click [OK]. (This is "Adding a Reference".)

2.
Now (after declaring a couple variables, and finding in the VisualC++ help that
the constant BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS is 1) this code (similar to Peter's) does in
fact return JUST the folder name. For "I:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VB98\Wizards" it returns the string "Wizards". Not too useful.

3.
Now, thanks to Simon Conway-Smith's post, above, we add the code to retrieve the
full (drive and) path from shlFolder.Items.Item.Path.

Here's the code, in
the on-click method for a button in a test program that actually works (I just
now wrote it).

Private Sub GoButton_Click()

    Dim shlShell As Variant, shlFolder As Variant

    Set shlShell = New Shell32.Shell

    Set shlFolder = shlShell.BrowseForFolder(Me.hWnd, "Select a Folder", 1)

    FolderLabel.Caption = shlFolder.Title 

    PathLabel.Caption = shlFolder.Items.Item.Path 

End Sub

End.
