The PathEdit control displays an edit field that enabling the user to select the end section of a path. It supports entering the selected folder name, or the entire path in the edit field. The user can also enter a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path to a drive that has no drive letter. If the entered end segment for the path is invalid for the present drive, the PathEdit control cannot transfer focus to the next control. This control is intended to be used on a browse dialog together with the DirectoryCombo and DirectoryList controls.
