Can't get folder dialog pop up.

claudekennilol · January 2017

I'm using v5.20.01(AnyCPU)

void Main()
{
	using (var fbd = new FolderBrowserDialog())
	{
		DialogResult result = fbd.ShowDialog();
	}
}

Running the above (as a c# program) just hangs on `ShowDialog`. I found THIS on SO, but that was a year ago and messing with that setting doesn't change what I'm seeing at all.

I had to change Preferences -> Advanced -> Execution -> Run Queries in MTA Threads to false (the default) to get it working.
(Adding [STAThreadAttribute] to the Main method made no difference.)

Mine is currently on false, so I guess that's not it on its own..

When this happens, try pressing Alt+Tab. Can you see the dialog in the list of windows and then switch to it?
