How to select a folder and assign the path value to a variable in autoit?

 

; Selecting a file and assigning that to $sPath value)
Case $file
            $sPath = FileOpenDialog("Open a file", @desktopdir, "Cabinet Files (*.cab)",$FD_MULTISELECT)
            GUICtrlSetData($file, $sPath)

; How to do the same with a folder?

Or a method to Select Folder or Files at once.

Shadow_Delta,

Or a method to Select Folder or Files at once

Take a look at my ChooseFileFolder UDF (the link is in my sig) which allows you to select both files and folders at the same time in a single dialog.

$sPath = FileOpenDialog("Open a file", @desktopdir, "All files (*.*)")
MsgBox(0, "", "File : " & $sPath  & @CRLF & _ 
"Folder : " & StringRegExpReplace($sPath, "\\[^\\]+$", "") )
