I am trying to open a dialog box where the user selects a certain folder on pure C++, no .Net framework or C#, and am struggling to find how the lpstr would filter everything but directories. I am currently using the OPENFILENAME function. I tried filtering to .dir, but it does not work. Anyone know the actual extension or any solutons?
What is the lpstr filter for folders?

Ended up using SHBrowseForFolder() https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shlobj_core/nf-shlobj_core-shbrowseforfoldera

The
OPENFILENAMEstruct is used with the oldGetOpenFileName()Common Dialog Box, which can't be used to select a folder. It is simply not designed for that purpose.You need to use
SHBrowseForFolder()instead, or in Vista+ you can (and should) use the newerIFileOpenDialogCommon Item Dialog with theFOS_PICKFOLDERSoption enabled.
