DirectoryList Control

A DirectoryList control displays a part of the path that is currently displayed in the PathEdit control. The DirectoryList control displays the folders below the directory currently displayed by the DirectoryCombo control.

The PathEdit, DirectoryCombo, and DirectoryList controls are associated with the same string valued property. That property is the path selected by the user. Enter the property's name into the Property column of the Control table. This property must have an initial value containing at least one volume and one sublevel. Specify the initial value for the property in the Value column of the Property table.

This control is intended to be used on a Browse Dialog together with the PathEdit and DirectoryList control.

The DirectoryList control publishes the following ControlEvents.

ControlEvent Description
DirectoryListNew Creates a new folder and selects the name field for editing.
IgnoreChange Highlights, but does not open, a folder in the current directory.
DirectoryListUp Selects the parent of the present directory.
DirectoryListOpen Selects and highlights a directory.

The contents of the Text field of the Control table is never displayed by the DirectoryList control. Instead this field specifies the style of text to be displayed by the control and contains a description of the control used by screen review utilities. To set the font and font style of a text string, prefix the string of displayed characters with {\style} or {&style}. Where style is an identifier listed in the TextStyle column of the TextStyle table. If neither of these are present, but the DefaultUIFont property is defined as a valid text style, that font will be used. The information following this is read by screen review utilities as the description of the control. See Accessibility.
