SelectDirectory function

A function that allows a user to select a directory.

Declaration

pascal

function SelectDirectory(const Caption: string; 
 const InitialDirectory: string; 
 out Directory: string): Boolean

`Caption`	A constant which sets the caption of the shown dialog.
`InitialDirectory`	The directory the dialog should start in.
`Directory`	A variable which on exit contains the selected directory.

A boolean indicating if the user pressed OK.

This function will show a dialog which allows the user to select the required directory when the directory structure is displayed as a tree.

Under Windows the caption from the resulting dialog cannot be set, but the label above the directory tree will have this value.

There are two version of this function, the second one having the ability to indicate whether hidden folders should be shown as well.

An experiment, built from development snapshots. Not the official Free Pascal or Lazarus documentation.
