tk_chooseDirectory - pops up a dialog box for the user to select a directory.

<H3><A NAME="M4">DESCRIPTION</A></H3>
|
||
|
|
The procedure <B>tk_chooseDirectory</B> pops up a dialog box for the
|
||
|
|
user to select a directory. The following <I>option-value</I> pairs are
|
||
|
|
possible as command line arguments:
|
||
|
|
<P>
|
||
|
|
<DL>
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M5"><B>-initialdir</B> <I>dirname</I></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Specifies that the directories in <I>directory</I> should be displayed
|
||
|
|
when the dialog pops up. If this parameter is not specified, then
|
||
|
|
the directories in the current working directory are displayed. If the
|
||
|
|
parameter specifies a relative path, the return value will convert the
|
||
|
|
relative path to an absolute path. This option may not always work on
|
||
|
|
the Macintosh. This is not a bug. Rather, the <I>General Controls</I>
|
||
|
|
control panel on the Mac allows the end user to override the
|
||
|
|
application default directory.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M6"><B>-parent</B> <I>window</I></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Makes <I>window</I> the logical parent of the dialog. The dialog
|
||
|
|
is displayed on top of its parent window.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M7"><B>-title</B> <I>titleString</I></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Specifies a string to display as the title of the dialog box. If this
|
||
|
|
option is not specified, then a default title will be displayed.
|
||
|
|
<P><DT><A NAME="M8"><B>-mustexist</B> <I>boolean</I></A><DD>
|
||
|
|
Specifies whether the user may specify non-existant directories. If
|
||
|
|
this parameter is true, then the user may only select directories that
|
||
|
|
already exist. The default value is <I>false</I>.
