GETDIR() - plugins.file.showDirectorySelectDialog()

Displays the Directory Select Dialog from which you can choose a directory.

Note: The GETDIR() function returns JSFile objects from which you can retrieve all the file/folder properties and file/folder manipulation methods. This is more powerful than just returning a string with the foldername and path.

VFP code example

cFolder = GETDIR() && select a directory

Servoy code example

// returns JSFile (see plugins.file.JSFile for list of props & functions)
var cFolder = plugins.file.showDirectorySelectDialog();
cFolder.getPath();   // c:\temp
cFolder.list();      // [File1.txt, File2.txt]
cFolder.listFiles(); // [C:\Temp\File1.txt, C:\Temp\File2.txt]

// alternatively:

// returns JSFile
var cFolder = globals.GETDIR();
cFolder.getPath();   // c:\temp
cFolder.list();      // [File1.txt, File2.txt]
cFolder.listFiles(); // [C:\Temp\File1.txt, C:\Temp\File2.txt]

Note: GETDIR() is a function of the VFP2Servoy Toolkit
