Re: bug in CFileDialog for selecting folders

I am creating an application for selecting folders. So i have created
a new class with CFileDialog as the base class. When the dialog comes
up and i click on a folder and hit Select, then it returns with the
selected folder path. My application then moves on to delete the
selected folder. So i call RemoveDirectory on the returned folder
path. It works fine. But suppose on the folder selection dialog, i
double click the folder i want to delete and then hit select, the
dialog returns with the selected folder path. But i cannot delete the
folder after that unless i close the main dialog. It seems like the
handle of the folder path i selected is still kept open by the dialog
and i cant even delete by windows shift-delete. What could be the
issue here? Is there a bug?

Code is as follows

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// CFolderDialog

IMPLEMENT_DYNAMIC(CFolderDialog, CFileDialog)

WNDPROC CFolderDialog::m_wndProc = NULL;

// Function name : CFolderDialog::CFolderDialog
// Description : Constructor

folder wil be saved
CFolderDialog::CFolderDialog(CString* pPath) : CFileDialog(TRUE, NULL,
_T("*..*"))
{
m_pPath = pPath;
}

return NULL;
}
}

CWnd* pFD = GetParent();
CRect rectCancel; pFD->GetDlgItem(IDCANCEL)->GetWindowRect
(rectCancel);
pFD->ScreenToClient(rectCancel);
CRect rectOK; pFD->GetDlgItem(IDOK)->GetWindowRect(rectOK);
pFD->ScreenToClient(rectOK);
pFD->GetDlgItem(IDOK)->SetWindowPos(0,rectCancel.left - rectOK.Width
() - 4, rectCancel.top, 0,0, SWP_NOZORDER | SWP_NOSIZE);
CRect rectList2; pFD->GetDlgItem(lst1)->GetWindowRect(rectList2);

pFD->SetWindowText(_T("Choose folder"));
m_wndProc = (WNDPROC)SetWindowLong(pFD->m_hWnd, GWL_WNDPROC, (long)
WindowProcNew);
}

Thanks in advance,
