NAME¶
Tk::DirSelect - Cross-platform directory selection widget.
SYNOPSIS¶
use Tk::DirSelect;
my $ds = $mw->DirSelect();
my $dir = $ds->Show();
DESCRIPTION¶
This module provides a cross-platform directory selection widget. For systems
running Microsoft Windows, this includes selection of local and mapped network
drives. A context menu (right-click or <Button3>) allows the creation,
renaming, and deletion of directories while browsing.
Note: Perl/Tk 804 added the "chooseDirectory" method which uses native
system dialogs where available. (i.e. Windows) If you want a native feel for
your program, you probably want to use that method instead -- possibly using
this module as a fallback for systems with older versions of Tk installed.
METHODS¶
"DirSelect([-title => 'title'], [options])"¶
Constructs a new DirSelect widget as a child of the invoking object (usually a
MainWindow).
The title for the widget can be set by specifying "-title =>
'Title'". Any other options provided will be passed through to the
DirTree widget that displays directories, so be sure they're appropriate (e.g.
"-width")
"Show([directory], [options])"¶
Displays the DirSelect widget and returns the user selected directory or
"undef" if the operation is canceled.
All arguments are optional. The first argument (if defined) is the initial
directory to display. The default is to display the current working directory.
Any additional options are passed through to the
Popup() method. This
means that you can do something like
$ds->Show(undef, -popover => $mw);
to center the dialog over your application.
