Get Directory from User

I'm looking for a function to get a directory path from the user; I need to solicit a place to put things. I tried using GetOpenFileName() with .dir as a filter but no joy. I found something called GetDirectoryVia开发者_如何学编程Browse() that sounds like it might do what I want but it's part of some wizard making package and my Visual Studio knows nothing about it. I'd like some simple non .NET widget.

Is there such a thing?

You are looking for the Win32 Shell API: SHBrowseForFolder

you can use mkdir("your path") this function is in library. here is a sample code:

#include <direct.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
using namespace std;
int main()
  {
    char folder[50];
    char path[]="c:/";
    cin>>folder;
    strcat(path,folder);
    mkdir(path);
    cout<<"Your folder has been created in drive C.";
    return 0;
    }
