void CRFileDlg::OnBnClickedButton1()
{
//Just take One Edit Control and Button , Add EventHandler for button.

BROWSEINFO bi = {0};
bi.lpszTitle = _T("Browse for Folder");
LPITEMIDLIST pidl = SHBrowseForFolder(&bi);
if ( pidl != NULL )
{
TCHAR tszPath[MAX_PATH] = _T("\0");
if ( SHGetPathFromIDList(pidl, tszPath) == TRUE )
{
SetDlgItemText( IDC_EDIT1, tszPath );
}

}
}
