Detailed Description

Class to display the operating system's modal folder browser dialog box.

The object needs a FCUI object in the constructor.

This class has an option to use the API implementation in Finale 25 instead of the built-in system-based implementation, through the SetUseFinaleAPI method. The default setting is that Finale's native folder browsing dialog is used on Finale 25+. (See SetUseFinaleAPI for more information about the differences between the Finale API implementation and the built-in implementation.)

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ FCFolderBrowseDialog()

FCFolderBrowseDialog::FCFolderBrowseDialog ( FCUI * pUI )

inline

The constructor.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

pUI	Pointer to a valid FCUI object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ ClassName()

const char * FCFolderBrowseDialog::ClassName ( ) const

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns the name of the class, for diagnostic purposes. This method MUST be overwritten in each child class.

Lua-supported.

Implements __FCBase.

◆ Execute()

bool FCFolderBrowseDialog::Execute ( )

inline

Displays the dialog box to the user.

Different implementations will be used, depending on the GetUseFinaleAPI setting and Finale version that the user runs on.

Lua-supported.

Returns: True if the user selected something from the dialog box.

◆ GetFolderPath()

void FCFolderBrowseDialog::GetFolderPath ( FCString * pString )

inline

Gets the folder path.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

pString The FCString object that should contain the information.

◆ GetUseFinaleAPI()

bool FCFolderBrowseDialog::GetUseFinaleAPI ( ) const

inline

Returns if the native Finale API for folder browsing should be used on Finale 25 and above.

On earlier Finale version, this setting will have no effect. The default value is set to use the Finale API on Finale 25+.

See SetUseFinaleAPI for more information about the differences between the Finale API implementation and the built-in implementation.

Lua-supported (also as property).

Returns: true - use the native Finale API on Finale 25 and higher. false - always use the framework's own implementation.

◆ GetWindowTitle()

void FCFolderBrowseDialog::GetWindowTitle ( FCString * pString )

inline

Gets the assigned dialog title.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

pString The FCString object that should contain the information.

◆ SetFolderPath()

void FCFolderBrowseDialog::SetFolderPath ( FCString * pString )

inline

Sets the default folder path. This is the path that will be preselected when the dialog is displayed.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

pString The FCString object that contains the path.

◆ SetUseFinaleAPI()

void FCFolderBrowseDialog::SetUseFinaleAPI ( bool state )

inline

Sets if the native Finale API for folder browsing should be used on Finale 25 and above.

On earlier Finale version, this setting will have no effect. The default value is set to use the Finale API on Finale 25+.

On macOS there is little or no visible difference between the Finale API implementation and the built-in implementation. On Windows, however, the Finale API implementation presents a tree-view with limited visibility into the contents of each folder level whereas the built-in implementation presents a standard Open File Dialog tailored for selecting folders rather than files. (Starting with version 0.59 of the PDK Framework.)

Lua-supported (also as property).

Parameters

state true - use the native Finale API on Finale and higher. false - always use the framework's own implementation.

◆ SetWindowTitle()

void FCFolderBrowseDialog::SetWindowTitle ( FCString * pString )

inline

Sets the title for the dialog box.

Lua-supported.

Parameters

pString The FCString object that contains the text.
