All you need is SHBrowseForFolder[^] API.
There are lots of examples on using this function for displaying Browse For Folder Dialog - check out this CP article[^] for direct usage of the function.

You can also find CP articles that provide helper classes built around SHBrowseForFolder:
- CFolderDialog - Selecting Folders[^]
- XBrowseForFolder - Wrapper for SHBrowseForFolder[^]

If you want to go further and want a folder selection dialog, similar to CFileDialog have a look at this[^] excellent CodeProject article.
