# setPath(This, Dirname)

View Source

    -spec setPath(This, Dirname) -> ok when This :: wxDirPickerCtrl(), Dirname :: unicode:chardata().

Sets the absolute path of the currently selected directory.

If the control uses `wxDIRP_DIR_MUST_EXIST` and does not use `wxDIRP_USE_TEXTCTRL` style, the `dirname` must be a name of an existing directory and will be simply ignored by the native wxGTK implementation if this is not the case.
