Dialog.FolderBrowse Examples

string Dialog.FolderBrowse (

Example 1

folder_path = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Select Folder", _SourceDrive);

Prompts the user to select a single folder from the "source drive" and stores the path to the selected folder in a variable named "folder_path."

Example 2

-- Display a folder browse dialog

storage_path = Dialog.FolderBrowse("Store Files In", _TempFolder);

-- If CANCEL was not chosen, then let's get the folder path

if (storage_path ~= "CANCEL") then

Dialog.Message("You chose the following folder", storage_path);

end

Asks the user what path to store files in, letting them browse for a folder starting from the temporary folder. The resulting path is stored in storage_path. The second block of code is a check to see if the user pressed the cancel button. If they didn't, a dialog message is displaying showing the folder that was selected.

Note: _TempFolder is a built-in variable that contains the path to the user's temporary folder.
