SelectDirectory example

SelectDirectory example

 

 

This example uses a button and a label on a form. When the user clicks the button, a Select Directory dialog box appears. The current directory displayed in the dialog box is C:/MYDIR. The user can select a directory from the directory list, or enter a new directory in the edit box. If the user enters a new directory, a message box asks the user if the directory should be created. If the user chooses Yes, the directory is created. If the user chooses No, the message box goes away without creating the directory. The name of the directory the user selects appears as the caption of the label:

uses FileCtrl;

const
  SELDIRHELP = 1000;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  Dir: string;
begin
  Dir := 'C:/MYDIR';
  if SelectDirectory(Dir, [sdAllowCreate, sdPerformCreate, sdPrompt],SELDIRHELP) then
    Label1.Caption := Dir;
end;
