How to open a dialog box to let user selects a path in the local file system?
0
Hi there, I want to let users select a path in the local file system by using a dialog box (just like the path selection in every software package installation). Ideally, there will be a button on a page to pull up the path selector window. The returned value could be a string like “C:\Users\xxxxx\Downloads\mendix_project”. Which widget should I use? Or how can I realize this functionality? Thanks in advance.

You can use the File manager widget. Its one of the standard widgets in Mendix. Please note that you need to put this widget into a dataview which is connected to an entity of type System.FileDocument or a specialization thereof,
