Hi,

I seem to get that on deeply nested folders as well. I tracked down
the crash to the "free(foldermem)" line. It seems to work if you use
win32lib's memory management routines...

This version works for me even with very deeply nested folders:

include win32lib.ew
with trace

atom binfo, result,memfolder
sequence folder

constant xSHBrowseForFolder = registerw32Function(shell32, "SHBrowseForFolder", 
{C_POINTER}, C_POINTER)

constant xSHGetPathFromIDList =
registerw32Function(shell32,"SHGetPathFromIDList",{C_ULONG,C_POINTER},C_ULONG)

global constant
bfOwner = allot( Long ),
bfpidlRoot = allot( Long ),
bfDisplayName = allot( Lpsz ),
bfTitle = allot( Lpsz ),
bfFlags = allot( Long ),
bfFunction = allot( Long ),
bfParam = allot( Long ),
bfImage = allot( Long ),
SIZEOF_BROWSEINFO = allotted_size()

binfo = acquire_mem(0, SIZEOF_BROWSEINFO)

store( binfo, bfOwner, 0)
store( binfo, bfpidlRoot, NULL)
store( binfo, bfDisplayName, "")
store( binfo, bfTitle, "Select a Folder")
store( binfo, bfFlags, NULL)
store( binfo, bfFunction, NULL)
store( binfo, bfParam, NULL)
store( binfo, bfImage, NULL)

result = w32Func(xSHBrowseForFolder, {binfo})

memfolder= acquire_mem(0,repeat(512,0))
if w32Func(xSHGetPathFromIDList,{result,memfolder}) then
   --the string pointed to by folder now contains the path
   folder = peek_string(memfolder)
else
   folder = ""
end if
release_mem(memfolder)
release_mem(binfo)

if message_box("Folder: " & folder, "Test", MB_OK) then end if
