Re: [Esug-list] how to pick an existing (empty) directory name (mapped in Windows to a drive letter)?
Dear Mr. Wenk,
The statements
| dialog |
dialog := ChooseDirectoryDialog new.
^dialog open
ifTrue: [dialog selection]
ifFalse: [nil]
let you pick any kind of directory (empty and not empty). A path selector dialog with a combobox (shows the selected path and lets select a path), a selection list of directories of the current path and some helper buttons for creating a new directory, etc.) is part of the selecting dialog. You can traverse the hirarchy of displayed paths down and up to the required one.
As you write, i assume you are working with VisualWorks. My example is from VW 7.8.1.
mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards,

-->You can map between UNCs and drive letters using the command prompt’s ”net use” or (for permanent mappings only?) the registry’s \\HKCU\Network. Should be easy enough (and fast enough) to make VW’s own directory dialog use one of those to add that info when opening.Steve

Subject: [Esug-list] how to pick an existing (empty) directory name (mapped in Windows to a drive letter)?Hello,
how I can use a native FolderDialog/DirectoryRequest for a directory which may be empty (we need it for selecting a subprocess-working-directory chosen by our users)?
The VW FileDialog and Win32FileDialog can only be used for not empty directories (selecting an arbitrary file and getting its directory path). The Aragon.Widget Dialog>requestDirectory let me select a directory but does not show the drive letters of the (Windows-) mapped drives. Thus, for our users (hospital nurses), it is not so easy to find a known directory.
Has anybody a solution?--
