my solution:

C++

inline static int CALLBACK BrowseCallbackProc(HWND hwnd,UINT uMsg, LPARAM lParam, LPARAM lpData)
{
  // If the BFFM_INITIALIZED message is received
  // set the path to the start path.
  switch (uMsg)
  {
    case BFFM_INITIALIZED:
    {
      if (NULL != lpData)
      {
        SendMessage(hwnd, BFFM_SETSELECTION, TRUE, lpData);
      }
    }
  }
  return 0; // The function should always return 0.
}


/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/*  BrowseForFolder                                                   */
/*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/
/**
 *  @brief   open a folder dialog to choose folder

 *  @param   HWND                 [in] is the parent window.
 *           szCurrent            [in] is an optional start folder. Can be NULL.
 *           szPath               [in] receives the selected path on success. Must be MAX_PATH characters in length.

inline BOOL BrowseForFolder(HWND hwnd, LPCTSTR szCurrent, LPTSTR szPath)
{
 
  BROWSEINFO   bi = { 0 };
  LPITEMIDLIST pidl;
  TCHAR        szDisplay[MAX_PATH];
  BOOL         retval;

  CoInitialize(NULL); 
  if(szPath == NULL){

  }  
  bi.hwndOwner      = hwnd;

  bi.ulFlags        = BIF_RETURNONLYFSDIRS;
