Modern replacement for Browse For Folder dialogs

Problem: Whenever I come across those "Browse For Folder" dialogs it was always a pain in the assholes, because there is no place to paste the folder path or select from the Quick access bar, etc. Each folder has to be expanded level by level. It is also a hazard for automation as there is no Edit1 to set. Sadly this dialog is still being used to this day by many software, even in AutoHotkey. So I decided to take care of it once and for all.

Solution: The following script will watch for "Browse For Folder" dialogs. When found, a modern folder select dialog would appear on top of it. Once confirmed, it would navigate to the provided path using RemoteTreeView which controls the folder list through memory.
The SetPathForBrowseForFolder function can also be used separately for automation.

Libraries used (for convenience, they are included in the script below):
RemoteTreeViewClass
SelectFolderEx

Script:

Code: Select all

#Requires AutoHotkey v1.1.33+
;@Ahk2Exe-SetMainIcon ReplaceBrowseForFolder.ico
;@Ahk2Exe-SetVersion 1.2
;@Ahk2Exe-Base Unicode 32*
;@Ahk2Exe-PostExec "MPRESS.exe" "%A_WorkFileName%" -q -x, 0,, 1
;@Ahk2Exe-IgnoreBegin
; Set tray icon
Try
	Menu, Tray, Icon, shell32.dll, 301
;@Ahk2Exe-IgnoreEnd

#NoEnv

MenuItemName := "Replace Browse For Folder"

	Static Toggle
	ReplaceBrowseForFolder(Toggle := !Toggle)
	Menu, Tray, ToggleCheck, % ItemName
}
; Toggle on by default
ToggleReplaceBrowseForFolder(MenuItemName)

; or, simply enable the dialog watcher without the tray toggle
;ReplaceBrowseForFolder(true)
Return

; Shows a dialog to select a folder.
; Depending on the OS version the function will use either the built-in FileSelectFolder command (XP and previous)
; or the Common Item Dialog (Vista and later).
; Parameter:
;     StartingFolder -  the full path of a folder which will be preselected.
;     Prompt         -  a text used as window title (Common Item Dialog) or as text displayed withing the dialog.
;     ----------------  Common Item Dialog only:
;     OwnerHwnd      -  HWND of the Gui which owns the dialog. If you pass a valid HWND the dialog will become modal.
;     BtnLabel       -  a text to be used as caption for the apply button.
;  Return values:
;     On success the function returns the full path of selected folder; otherwise it returns an empty string.

; Title:  Remote TreeView class
;         This class allows a script to work with TreeViews controlled by a third party process.
;
;         8/30/2012  Released for beta testing
;
;         8/31/2012  Added a wait parameter to SetSelection
;                    Changed name of ExpandCollapse to Expand
;                    Changed default WaitTime of Expand to 0
;
;         9/2/2012	 Removed GetState method and replaced it with the IsBold, IsChecked, IsExpanded
; 					 and IsSelected methods.
;
;         9/7/2012   Added Check method.
;                    For ease of use, changed parameters of SetSelection, Expand and IsChecked methods.
;
;         9/17/2012  Extended the "Full" option of GetNext() to allow it to transverse sub-trees. 
;                    Given a starting node, all decendents of that node will be  transversed depth
;                    first. Those nodes which are not descendants of the starting node will NOT be
;                    visited. To traverse the entire tree, including the real root, pass zero as the
;                    starting node.
;
;         11/02/2014 Fix for GetText and ddditional function from just me
;                    See http://ahkscript.org/boards/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4998#p29339

	;         selects and focuses the specified item.
	;
	; Parameters:
	;         pItem			- Handle to the item
	;
	; Returns:
	;         Returns the handle to the edit control used to edit the item text if successful, 
	;         or NULL otherwise. When the user completes or cancels editing, the edit control

	; Method: IsChecked
	;         Retrieves an item's checked status
	;
	; Parameters:
	;         pItem			- Handle to the item
	;
	;         Force			- If true (default), forces the node to return a valid state.
	;                         Since this involves toggling the state of the check box, it
	;                         can have undesired side effects. Make this false to disable 
	;                         this feature.
	; Returns:
	;         Returns 1 if the item is checked, 0 if unchecked.
	;
	;         Returns -1 if the checkbox state cannot be determined because no checkbox
	;         image is currently associated with the node and Force is false. 
	;
	; Remarks:
	;         Due to a "feature" of Windows, a checkbox can be displayed even if no checkbox image
	;         is associated with the node. It is important to either check the actual value returned

	; Method: VirtualAllocEx
	;         Reserves or commits a region of memory within the virtual address space of the 
	;         specified process, and specifies the NUMA node for the physical memory.
	;
	; Parameters:
	;         hProcess      - A valid handle to an open object. The handle must have the 
	;                         PROCESS_VM_OPERATION access right.
	;
	;         Address       - The pointer that specifies a desired starting address for the region 
	;                         of pages that you want to allocate. 
	;
	;                         If you are reserving memory, the Method rounds this address down to 
	;                         the nearest multiple of the allocation granularity.
	;
	;                         If you are committing memory that is already reserved, the Method rounds 
	;                         this address down to the nearest page boundary. To determine the size of a 
	;                         page and the allocation granularity on the host computer, use the GetSystemInfo 
	;                         function.
	;
	;                         If Address is NULL, the function determines where to allocate the region.
	;
	;         Size          - The size of the region of memory to be allocated, in bytes. 
	;
	;         AllocationType - The type of memory allocation. This parameter must contain ONE of the 
	;                          following values:
	;								MEM_COMMIT
	;								MEM_RESERVE
	;								MEM_RESET

	;         ProtectType   - The memory protection for the region of pages to be allocated. If the 
	;                         pages are being committed, you can specify any one of the memory protection 
	;                         constants:

	;								 PAGE_EXECUTE
	;								 PAGE_EXECUTE_READ

	; Method: VirtualFreeEx
	;         Releases, decommits, or releases and decommits a region of memory within the 
	;         virtual address space of a specified process
	;
	; Parameters:
	;         hProcess      - A valid handle to an open object. The handle must have the 
	;                         PROCESS_VM_OPERATION access right.
	;
	;         Address       - The pointer that specifies a desired starting address for the region 
	;                         to be freed. If the dwFreeType parameter is MEM_RELEASE, lpAddress 
	;                         must be the base address returned by the VirtualAllocEx Method when 
	;                         the region is reserved.
	;
	;         Size          - The size of the region of memory to be allocated, in bytes. 
	;
	;                         If the FreeType parameter is MEM_RELEASE, dwSize must be 0 (zero). The Method 
	;                         frees the entire region that is reserved in the initial allocation call to 
	;                         VirtualAllocEx.
	;
	;                         If FreeType is MEM_DECOMMIT, the Method decommits all memory pages that 
	;                         contain one or more bytes in the range from the Address parameter to 
	;                         (lpAddress+dwSize). This means, for example, that a 2-byte region of memory
	;                         that straddles a page boundary causes both pages to be decommitted. If Address 
	;                         is the base address returned by VirtualAllocEx and dwSize is 0 (zero), the
	;                         Method decommits the entire region that is allocated by VirtualAllocEx. After 
	;                         that, the entire region is in the reserved state.
	;
	;         FreeType      - The type of free operation. This parameter can be one of the following values:
	;								MEM_DECOMMIT
	;								MEM_RELEASE
	;
	; Returns:
	;         If the Method succeeds, the return value is a nonzero value.

}
Edit 2024-02-26:
  1. Added support for network folders
  2. Added timeout confirmation
Edit 2024-02-07:
  1. Tray menu toggle to turn the dialog watcher on/off.
  2. Support for older dialogs.
  3. New icon that better represents the painful folder tree. (Extracted from shell32.dll)
Edit 2024-01-19: Now you can turn the watcher on/off, for example:

Code: Select all

Menu, Tray, Add, Replace Browse For Folder, ToggleReplaceBrowseForFolder
ToggleReplaceBrowseForFolder() {
	Static Toggle
	ReplaceBrowseForFolder(Toggle := !Toggle)
	Menu, Tray, ToggleCheck, Replace Browse For Folder
}
Thanks to SKAN for the inspiration.

Hello,
I was able to easily include your script in the one I use to start Windows. It's perfect.
All the best.

This is very cool, however it doesn't seem to work with network drives.

If I paste this path
\\corp.company.com\corp\location\discipline\Projects\project-name\Drawing\DWG\Database

It'll just point to the "Network" location in the "browse for folder" dialog. This is despite me being able to manually drill down to the folder I need.

This is a really cool concept. I wish it worked for me.
