How to select directory with CommDlgBox

Such window: Documentation of Common Dialog Box didn't help me. There is nothing about a dialog box to select directory. But I think there must be a way to show it cause it's quite popular window.

The link I provided is for VB6 but you can search for "SHBrowseForFolder() VB.NET" in google to get other examples.

You can either use the API Function or use the DirListBox Control that is included on the standard toolbox.
