wx.DirDialog¶This class represents the directory chooser dialog.
^^
Window Styles¶This class supports the following styles:
wx.DD_DEFAULT_STYLE: Equivalent to a combination of wx.DEFAULT_DIALOG_STYLE and wx.RESIZE_BORDER.
wx.DD_DIR_MUST_EXIST: The dialog will allow the user to choose only an existing folder. When this style is not given, a “Create new directory” button is added to the dialog (on Windows) or some other way is provided to the user to type the name of a new folder.
wx.DD_CHANGE_DIR: Change the current working directory to the directory chosen by the user. This flag cannot be used with the DD_MULTIPLE style.
wx.DD_MULTIPLE: Allow the user to select multiple directories. This flag is only available since wxWidgets 3.1.4
wx.DD_SHOW_HIDDEN: Show hidden and system folders. This flag is only available since wxWidgets 3.1.4 ^^
RESIZE_BORDER has special side effect under Windows where two different directory selection dialogs are available and this style also implicitly selects the new version as the old one always has fixed size. As the new version is almost always preferable, it is recommended that RESIZE_BORDER style be always used. This is the case if the dialog is created with the default style value but if you need to use any additional styles you should still specify DD_DEFAULT_STYLE unless you explicitly need to use the old dialog version under Windows. E.g. do
dlg = wx.DirDialog (None, "Choose input directory", "",
wx.DD_DEFAULT_STYLE | wx.DD_DIR_MUST_EXIST)
instead of just using DD_DIR_MUST_EXIST style alone.
Note
MacOS 10.11+ does not display a title bar on the dialog. Use SetMessage to change the string displayed to the user at the top of the dialog after creation. The SetTitle method is provided for compatibility with pre-10.11 MacOS versions that do still support displaying the title bar.
