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.
