TOPIC: XSharp.Tools.WPF: dependency on System.Windows.Forms?

Hello,

currently I'm working on the WPF library, and have encountered a problem: WPF does not provides a dialog to select a folder.
In my own WPF library, I'm using a Windows.Forms dialog.

I have now two possibilities:

• don't provide a folder selection method
• add a dependency to System.Windows.Forms

What do you prefer?

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang

in my WPF app I use System.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserDialog{}. Adding to a reference is not a problem.
I vote for option two.

Hi Juraj,

ok, thank you very much!

1:0 for the dependency to System.Windows.Forms.

The alternative would be to write a WPF folder selection dialog....

Wolfgang,
github.com/aelij/WPFContrib has such a dialog.
I have no idea about the quality of code

Hi Robert,

thank you very much! I have looked at it, and it will take some time to isolate it. Currently this dialog crashes on my system.

Wolfgang,
I do not use WPF but maybe found some links: www.gisremotesensing.com/2016/08/code-sn...r-dialog-in-wpf.html and www.codeproject.com/Articles/118612/WPF-Folder-Browser
