Remarks

Selecting files

fSelectDir is used to to select a directory. To select a file, use fSelect.

Limitations

This function can be used only if the version 4.00 of SHELL32.DLL is available on the system. If this library is not found, a non-fatal WLanguage error will be generated by fSelectDir.
Java

Operating mode in Java

In Java, in Windows, the use of fSelectDir displays a Java window that simulates the aspect and the operating mode of Windows directory picker.
To force the use of Java directory picker, you must use <wd.prop.sel_rep_defaut> when starting the application and you must specify one of the following values: oui/o/yes/y/vrai/true.
Example of command line used to start a Java application by forcing the use of Java directory picker:
java -Dwd.prop.sel_rep_defaut=y -jar MyApplication.jar

In Java, in the other OS (Linux, Mac, ...), the use of fSelectDir displays the Java directory picker.
To force the display of a Java window that simulates the aspect and the operating mode of native Windows directory picker, you must use <wd.prop.sel_rep_windows> when starting the application and you must specify one of the following values: oui/o/yes/y/vrai/true.
Example of command line used to start a Java application by forcing the use of Windows directory picker:
java -Dwd.prop.sel_rep_windows=y -jar MyApplication.jar
