Using file dialog to select a folder

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 07:51:21 GMT

Hi,
I would like to use file dialog to get a folder path for saving purposes. I don’t want to use the folder dialog because than I can’t paste a path, and it’s generally less comfortable.
I would like to filter the “files of type” to only folders, not seeing any other types of files.
Adding a picture of the code.
Thanks!

Hi,

You have to implement a FileDialogObserver for that dialog, and return false from the IncludeFile callback:

void	OpenNotesObserver::IncludeFile (const DG::FileDialogIncludeFileEvent& /*ev*/, bool* enable)
{
	*enable = false;
}

Best, Akos

Hi.
I implement a FileDialogObserver as above. But the method is invalid.
Is there any other method? Thanks.
