\section{\class{wxGenericDirCtrl}}\label{wxgenericdirctrl}

This control can  be used to place a directory listing (with optional files) on an arbitrary window.

The control contains a \helpref{wxTreeCtrl}{wxtreectrl} window representing the directory
hierarchy, and optionally, a \helpref{wxChoice}{wxchoice} window containing a list of filters.

\membersection{wxGenericDirCtrl::ExpandPath}\label{wxgenericdirctrlexpandpath}

\func{bool}{ExpandPath}{\param{const wxString\& }{path}}

Tries to expand as much of the given path as possible, so that the filename or directory is visible in the tree control.

\membersection{wxGenericDirCtrl::CollapsePath}\label{wxgenericdirctrlcollapsepath}
