// We can log the events and Folder Browser Message to the Label control.

this.label1.Text = String.Format("Event: {0}, Path: {1}", e.FolderBrowserMessage, e.Path);

if (e.FolderBrowserMessage == FolderBrowserMessage.ValidateFailed)

{

e.Dismiss = e.Path != "NONE";

}

}
Private Sub folderBrowser1_BrowseCallback(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.FolderBrowserCallbackEventArgs)

' We can log the events and Folder Browser Message to the Label control.

Me.label1.Text = String.Format("Event: {0}, Path: {1}", e.FolderBrowserMessage, e.Path)

If e.FolderBrowserMessage = FolderBrowserMessage.ValidateFailed Then

e.Dismiss = e.Path <> "NONE"

End If
