How to get a BrowseForFolder dialog callable from within a ArcGIS Pro DockPane (WPF)

I want to specify a folder (gdb) in ArcGIS Pro in a DockPaneView but cannot find out on how to get a 'Select Folder' and/or 'Select File' dialog can be called from within a DockPane.



The closest I got was to use 'BrowseForFolder' from ArcGIS.Desktop.Framework.Dialogs but here I am getting the problem that I have to provide the 'parentWindow' as an IntPtr.



All I need is a button in a DockPaneView that onClick is calling a 'Select Folder' dialog.

    If you need a parent window handle in a WPF application, use System.Windows.Interop.WindowInteropHelper
