[perl-win32-gui-users] Open Network Folder with Browse For Folder

[Tim Straub]

Hi,

I would like to open an initial folder on a network path (which is not mapped by
the client), say "\\client\d$".
I can open initially only a local folder by using "Browse For Folder". Trying to
open a network folder shows me the network folder in the Windows Explorer with
the wanted client, but the desired path d$ has not been selected.
Here's the code:

----------- start -----------
my $bff = Win32::FFI::BrowseForFolder->new(
           -initial => CSIDL_NETWORK,
           -folder  => "\\\\client\d$",
           -title   => "Select Profile Template",
          -regexp  =>'^(?i)[cd]:',
           );
my $dir = $bff->show;
----------- end -----------

What am I doing wrong? Or is there a different module which can be used?

Thanks in advance


Tim
