[wix-users] Remote Directory Browse in WiX

I have a Control definition inside a dialog like below. On click of the
button, I would like to allow the user to select a remote directory.

<Control Id="ChangeFolder" Type="PushButton" X="285" Y="65" Width="66"
Height="17" TabSkip="yes" Text="!(loc.BrowseLabel)">

          <Publish Property="_BrowseProperty"
Value="MY_PROP"><![CDATA[1]]></Publish>
          <Publish Event="SpawnDialog"
Value="BrowseDlg"><![CDATA[1]]></Publish>
        </Control>

If I add a Remote attribute on the control with a value yes, I get a
suggestion saying, it can be added only to Directory or Volume control
type. But unfortunately, there seems to be only DirectoryList /
DirectoryCombo / VolumeCostList control types and even when I change the
Type attribute to one of the above values, it gives a compile error with
the Remote attribute. Can anyone please help?
