Thanks to all of you

for the immediate help, especially to Andreas Hiltner for the solution with the native Windows SHBrowseForFolder function.
As he suggested, I implemented a class (Win32FolderDialog) doing all (after extending MinimalShellInterface from package "Windows Goodies").

If somebody is interested in it, too, I could publish it in the Public Repository (in an new version of "Windows Goodies" or an extra small package).

Regards, Ulli

Dear Ulli,

... I implemented a class (Win32FolderDialog) doing all (after
extending MinimalShellInterface from package "Windows Goodies").

If somebody is interested in it, too, I could publish it in the Public
Repository (in an new version of "Windows Goodies" or an extra small
package).

I'm sure people would be pleased to see it appear, maybe in a fresh
version of Windows Goodies with an explanatory blessing comment. If
others like it, it may in time become part of the standard version.

         Just my 0.02p
