selected_path() [1/2]

const xtd::ustring & xtd::forms::folder_browser_dialog::selected_path ( ) const

noexcept

Gets the path selected by the user.

Returns

The path of the folder first selected in the dialog box or the last folder selected by the user. The default is an empty string ("").

Remarks

If the selected_ath property is set before showing the dialog box, the folder with this path will be the selected folder, as long as selected_path is set to an absolute path that is a subfolder of root_folder (or more accurately, points to a subfolder of the shell namespace represented by root_folder).

If the show_dialog returns OK, meaning the user clicked the OK button, the selected_path property will return a string containing the path to the selected folder. If show_dialog returns Cancel, meaning the user canceled out of the dialog box, this property will have the same value that it had prior to displaying the dialog box. If the user selects a folder that does not have a physical path (for example, My Computer), the OK button on the dialog box will be disabled.
