33 This class represents the directory chooser dialog.

35 @beginStyleTable
36 @style{wxDD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
37 Equivalent to a combination of wxDEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE and
38 wxRESIZE_BORDER (the last one is not used under wxWinCE).
39 @style{wxDD_DIR_MUST_EXIST}
40 The dialog will allow the user to choose only an existing folder.
41 When this style is not given, a "Create new directory" button is
42 added to the dialog (on Windows) or some other way is provided to
43 the user to type the name of a new folder.
44 @style{wxDD_CHANGE_DIR}
45 Change the current working directory to the directory chosen by the
46 user.
47 @endStyleTable
48
49 Notice that @c wxRESIZE_BORDER has special side effect under recent (i.e.
50 later than Win9x) Windows where two different directory selection dialogs
51 are available and this style also implicitly selects the new version as the
52 old one always has fixed size. As the new version is almost always
53 preferable, it is recommended that @c wxRESIZE_BORDER style be always used.
54 This is the case if the dialog is created with the default style value but
55 if you need to use any additional styles you should still specify @c
56 wxDD_DEFAULT_STYLE unless you explicitly need to use the old dialog version
57 under Windows. E.g. do
58 @code
59 wxDirDialog dlg(NULL, "Choose input directory", "",
60 wxDD_DEFAULT_STYLE | wxDD_DIR_MUST_EXIST);
61 @endcode
62 instead of just using @c wxDD_DIR_MUST_EXIST style alone.
