Hi everyone!

I'm trying to to make a dialog with two options (radio buttons):
1. Fetch thumbnails from the WebServer
2. If not, I want the user to specify a directory where the thumbnails are stored in the disk so we can fetch it from that folder.
- The machine usually has a default location where the thumbnails resides, so I want that default
directory to be the default location that appears in the field
- however the user might have the thumbnail stored on a different location so I want to provide a
'Browse' button for the user to tell our installer where to look for the thumbnails

In the end, I want our installer class to know which option the user chose ("Web" or "Local") and if it's web, fetch the thumbnails from the web server but if it's local, get the directory that the user specified (or the default location, if no location was browsed by the user)

Is this possible to do? If so I would REALLY appreciate it if you kind guys could shed me some light :)

Thanks and god bless!
