How can I make the select folder dialog? I already implemented the select file for my torrent maker project, which you can find here: http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=14126&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

But for the life of me I can't figure out what method utorrent uses to be able to select a folder and also, the open button is called "select folder" but in my own language! Is it a system variable, or does utorrent have a database of all the languages just to have a custom select folder button? EDIT: It's called IFileDialog

And the combobox (which stores the selected path) has 2 empty dropdown items when there is no history of previous torrent file creations. The thing is, it looks nicer than not having that, because this way it's clear to the user that the list is empty. However, when I made the same, I can select them(they become blue when the mouse is over them), and that's not how I want it. I want it the same as in utorrent's, where you cannot select them.

I know these questions are very specific. I just hope some people could give me a hand.

There is no reason that you have to use the windows inbuilt dialogs. You can design your own and make them do whatever you need. However, that doesn't mean I know anything about uTorrent, it is just a general statement to suggest that perhaps it uses a custom dialog.

Thanks! I''ll look into it. Since my goal is to avoid resources wherever possible, hook procedure will be my method.

uTorrent isn't as small as it claims to be, it is packed with upx, if you unpack it, it approaches a megabyte in size. It is not a tiny torrent program anymore. What we need, is an assembly torrent program that is really tiny and fast. Smile

I realized that the utorrent's select folder dialog is a vista+ feature. Foobar2000 uses it too. In this link there is an example code that works:

http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=14106

The IFileDialog is what produces those type of dialogs. I just wonder what xp does with this code. I'll probably have to make a program jump if OS is xp or 2000.
