Hi

I am developing a InDesign CS5.5 plugin.

I am using SDKFolderChooser (from .../source/sdksamples/common/SDKHelper) to allow a user to select a folder.

But I don't know how to change the dialog's title:

SDKFolderChooser folderChooser;

folderChooser.SetTitle("My title");

folderChooser.ShowDialog();

SetTitle don't replace the default title "Select a folder" !

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Regards

    Try making the "My title" string a PMString, like below:

    SDKFolderChooser folderChooser;

    PMString title("My title");

    folderChooser.SetTitle(title);

    folderChooser.ShowDialog();

    if (!folderChooser.IsChosen())

    {

         break;

    }

    // Do something with the chosen folder, like.. folderChooser.GetIDFile();

    Thank you for your response but don't solve it.

    However, in the ShowDialog method, I replace one parameter

    bool16 folderSelected =  selectFolderDialog->DoDialog(nil,
      resultFolders,
      kFalse, // only one selection
    nil,
      &(this->fTitle));

    by

    bool16 folderSelected =  selectFolderDialog->DoDialog(nil,
      resultFolders,
      kFalse, // only one selection
      &(this->fTitle),
      &(this->fTitle));

    And it's now working:

    Thanks

      This is still a bug in 2024.
      It is setting the info message, not the title, the 4th param for

      virtual bool16 DoDialog(IDFile *defaultFile, SysFileList &resultFiles, bool16 allowMultipleFiles = kTrue,
							const PMString *title = nil, const PMString *infoMessage = nil) = 0;
