InitialDirectory (FileBrowser)

Description

Returns or sets a String containing the initial directory in the file browser.

Note: If the InitialDirectory is an empty string(default) the current working directory is used. The initial directory property is overridden if the user selects another directory during a previous call to the FileBrowser.ShowOpen or FileBrowser.ShowSave method.

C# Syntax

    // get accessor
    String rtn = FileBrowser.InitialDirectory;

    // set accessor
    FileBrowser.InitialDirectory = String;
