Class Fox::FXDirBox
In: rdoc-sources/FXDirBox.rb
Parent: FXTreeListBox

A Directory Box widget allows the user to select parts of a file path. First, it is filled with a string comprising a file path, like "/a/b/c". Then, the user can select "/a/b/c", "/a/b", "/a", and "/" from the drop-down list. The entries in the drop-down list are automatically provided with icons by consulting the file-associations registry settings. The Directory Box sends SEL_CHANGED and SEL_COMMAND messages, with the string containing the full path to the selected item.

Events

The following messages are sent by FXDirBox to its target:
