File Selection Dialog Property Editor

Only properties unique to a file selection dialog object are described here. See "Property Editor: Universal Properties" for descriptions of Object Type, Objects, Object Name, Initial State, and Color.

Window Parent

Specifies the main window parent of the file selection dialog. When displayed, the file selection dialog will appear over its main window. By default, the Primary Main Window is the parent of all file selection dialogs.

Dialog Title

Specifies the title that appears in the title bar at the top of the file selection dialog.

Initial Directory

Specifies the folder (directory) set as the starting value in the Path field of the file selection dialog.

Search Pattern Type

Specifies whether files, directories (folders), or both will be listed in the Files list of the file selection dialog.

Search Pattern

Specifies the value of the Filter field in the file selection dialog. The Filter value limits the files that will be listed in the Files field. The default value is * (asterisk), which means all files in the current folder will be listed. The Filter value for the Import Module file selection dialog in App Builder is *.bil, which means that only files that end in .bil will be listed.

OK Button Label

Specifies the label that will appear on the button in the left-most position at the bottom of the file selection dialog, normally labelled "OK." Clicking this button completes the file selection process and dismisses the file selection dialog. This button is labelled "Import" for the Import Module file selection dialog in App Builder.

Popdown Behavior

Specifies whether the file selection dialog will be automatically dismissed (the default) when the OK button is clicked.
