Problem
In How to open a file with GtkFileChooser?, we have showed how to allow user to select a file using a file chooser dialog.
Suppose now you would like to select folders instead of files as shown below:
Solution
- When creating GtkFileChooserDialog, use
Gtk::FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER
instead ofGtk::FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN
for GtkFileChooserAction.

Output
As shown above.Explanation
The above sample code is based on How to open a file with GtkFileChooser?.
What's new here:
- To select folders instead of files, just set the GtkFileChooserAction as
Gtk::FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER
. - Retrieve the folder name selected by user.
