This is the VB equiv. You should be able to port from this or search google, plenty others out there.

Here[^] is an excellent MFC example for you.
The demo project included in the article does exactly what you want. :)

With a quick search you can find lots of additional examples on CP:
1) CFolderDialog - Selecting Folders[^]
2) Customizing the "Browse for folder" dialog[^]
2) Browse Folder dialog, search folder and all sub folders using C/C++.[^]

I hope this helps. :)
