I have a Change button in a dialog that triggers a SpawnDialog to one called InstallCahangeFolder.  The Change button appears, but when I press it, instead of the dialog to change folders, I get an error 2342, which the documentationsays is "Path is empty"

ISWI 1.52 if that makes a difference.  What am I looking for?

TIA

It sounds as though you are going to the equivalent of a BrowseDlg without setting the _BrowseProperty beforehand.  If you are using a Directory or DirectoryList control, you also have to have a PathEdit control that is initialized when you open your dialog.

Since you are spawning a child dialog, you can use a temporary variable and set it to the initial value you want with the pushbutton control ... or you can set it with an edit control or a fixed property.  The point is that you have to initialize your selection controls, one way or another.
