FileDialog::RestoreDirectory Property
Gets or sets a value indicating whether the dialog box restores the current directory before closing.
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)
Property Value
Type: System::Booleantrue if the dialog box restores the current directory to its original value if the user changed the directory while searching for files; otherwise, false. The default value is false.
The following code example uses the OpenFileDialog implementation of FileDialog and illustrates creating, setting of properties, and showing the dialog box. The example uses the RestoreDirectory property to ensure that the current directory is restored when the dialog box is closed. The example requires a form with a Button placed on it and the System.IO namespace added to it.
private: void button1_Click( Object^ /*sender*/, System::EventArgs^ /*e*/ ) { Stream^ myStream; OpenFileDialog^ openFileDialog1 = gcnew OpenFileDialog; openFileDialog1->InitialDirectory = "c:\\"; openFileDialog1->Filter = "txt files (*.txt)|*.txt|All files (*.*)|*.*"; openFileDialog1->FilterIndex = 2; openFileDialog1->RestoreDirectory = true; if ( openFileDialog1->ShowDialog() == System::Windows::Forms::DialogResult::OK ) { if ( (myStream = openFileDialog1->OpenFile()) != nullptr ) { // Insert code to read the stream here. myStream->Close(); } } }
