BOOL GetOpenFileName(
LPOPENFILENAME lpofn // address of structure with initialization data

nope. However, I know an application that sets the file name to "Filename
will be ignored" and just uses the chosen directory. But why don't you use
SHBrowseForFolder() ?

Not natively, but I have seen some apps that modify the standard one
(presumable via the hooks) to allow selecting of folders too.

You may want to check the source for WinMerge to see how it does it.
