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?
Regards, Ulli

Or you could take a look the native function
"SHBrowseForFolder"
(https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb762115.aspx)
if you look for a Windows native alternative.
Cheers,
