Dialogs in wxPython - wxDirDialog

(Page 5 of 6 )

If your application requires the user to select a directory for something, consider using wxDirDialog. It allows the user to pick a directory from a tree:

from wxPython.wx import *

application = wxPySimpleApp()

# Create the dialog

dialog = wxDirDialog ( None, message = 'Pick a directory.' )

# Show the dialog and get user input

if dialog.ShowModal() == wxID_OK:

   print 'Directory:', dialog.GetPath()

# The user cancelled

else:

   print 'No directory.'

# Get rid of the dialog

dialog.Destroy()

It is also possible to allow the user to create a new directory from within the dialog by passing the wxDD_NEW_DIR_BUTTON style:

from wxPython.wx import *

application = wxPySimpleApp()

dialog = wxDirDialog ( None, message = 'Pick a directory.', style = wxDD_NEW_DIR_BUTTON )

if dialog.ShowModal() == wxID_OK:

   print 'Directory:', dialog.GetPath()

else:

   print 'No directory.'

dialog.Destroy()
