.. _wx.GenericDirCtrl:
==========================================================================================================================================
|phoenix_title| **wx.GenericDirCtrl**
==========================================================================================================================================
This control can be used to place a directory listing (with optional files) on an arbitrary window.
The control contains a :ref:`wx.TreeCtrl` window representing the directory hierarchy, and optionally, a :ref:`wx.Choice` window containing a list of filters.
.. _GenericDirCtrl-styles:
|styles| Window Styles
================================
This class supports the following styles:
- ``wx.DIRCTRL_DIR_ONLY``: Only show directories, and not files.
- ``wx.DIRCTRL_3D_INTERNAL``: Use 3D borders for internal controls. This is the default.
- ``wx.DIRCTRL_SELECT_FIRST``: When setting the default path, select the first file in the directory.
- ``wx.DIRCTRL_SHOW_FILTERS``: Show the drop-down filter list.
- ``wx.DIRCTRL_EDIT_LABELS``: Allow the folder and file labels to be editable.
- ``wx.DIRCTRL_MULTIPLE``: Allows multiple files and folders to be selected.
.. _GenericDirCtrl-events:
|events| Events Emitted by this Class
=====================================
Event macros for events emitted by this class:
- EVT_DIRCTRL_SELECTIONCHANGED: Selected directory has changed. Processes a ``wxEVT_DIRCTRL_SELECTIONCHANGED`` event type. Notice that this event is generated even for the changes done by the program itself and not only those done by the user. Available since wxWidgets 2.9.5.
- EVT_DIRCTRL_FILEACTIVATED: The user activated a file by double-clicking or pressing Enter. Available since wxWidgets 2.9.5.
