tk_chooseDirectory ?option value ...?
The procedure tk_chooseDirectory pops up a dialog box for
the user to select a directory. The following option-value
pairs are possible as command line arguments:
- -initialdir dirname
- Specifies that the directories in directory should be
displayed when the dialog pops up. If this parameter is not
specified, then the directories in the current working directory
are displayed. If the parameter specifies a relative path, the
return value will convert the relative path to an absolute
path.
- -mustexist boolean
- Specifies whether the user may specify non-existent
directories. If this parameter is true, then the user may only
select directories that already exist. The default value is
false.
- -parent window
- Makes window the logical parent of the dialog. The
dialog is displayed on top of its parent window. On Mac OS X, this
turns the file dialog into a sheet attached to the parent
window.
- -title titleString
- Specifies a string to display as the title of the dialog box.
If this option is not specified, then a default title will be
displayed.
