Base class for the OpenDialog, SaveAsDialog, and SelectFolderDialog classes, which allow you to create customized open, save, and select folder dialog boxes.
Notes
Not all properties are available for all three subclasses of FolderItemDialog and some properties are not supported on Windows. The descriptions for each of the three subclasses have illustrations of the dialogs on each of the three platforms (Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux).
The following table clarifies the situation.
