Folder Widget

 

Folder widget controls display an editable text box and a folder widget along with an optional label. They are associated to an underlying String parameter.

Clicking on the folder widget launches a Folder Picker which can be used to identify the path for a folder. When the user clicks OK on the Folder Picker, it updates the associated text box with the selected path.

You create them using the PPGLayout.AddItem method with the siControlFolder control type enum:

var oItem = oLayout.AddItem( "Directory", "", siControlFolder );

You can also set up a folder location to open by default. This process is the same as for the file brower widget, as outlined in To specify a default directory.

The following item attributes are available:
