( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello venerable monks,

I am going crazy trying to find a directory selection dialog for Perl on Windows (using Tk or Win32) which has the following characteristics:

* Must allow users to select directories (this rules out getOpenFile)

* Must allow users to create a new directory (this rules out most of the other Tk widgets, and also Win32::FileOp::BrowseForFolder)

* Must actually work with recent Tk (this rules out Tk::FileDialog. Sadly, the "replacement" Tk::JFileDialog loses the ability to create a new directory...)

* Should look reasonably nice on Windows XP (this rules out the *horrible* DirSelect widget, which my users will have no idea how to use)

I have failed to find *anything* that fits the bill!

The ideal solution would be an implementation of getOpenFile which allows the selection of directories.

Is there such a thing? Or anything that would work?

Thanks,
Dan

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
