DFileBrowser
Description
A tree and list-based file browser.
It allows filtering by folder (directory) name and file extension, and can display models as SpawnIcons.
Parent
Derives from DPanel.
Example
Creates a DFileBrowser and displays the data/persist folder. Any file clicked is printed to the console.
local frame = vgui.Create( "DFrame" )
frame:SetSize( 500, 250 )
frame:SetSizable( true )
frame:Center()
frame:MakePopup()
frame:SetTitle( "DFileBrowser Example" )
local browser = vgui.Create( "DFileBrowser", frame )
browser:Dock( FILL )
browser:SetPath( "GAME" ) -- The access path i.e. GAME, LUA, DATA etc.
browser:SetBaseFolder( "data" ) -- The root folder
browser:SetOpen( true ) -- Open the tree to show sub-folders
browser:SetCurrentFolder( "persist" ) -- Show files from persist
function browser:OnSelect( path, pnl ) -- Called when a file is clicked
print( path )
end

Example
Creates a DFileBrowser that can spawn models from props_ folders.
Uses the same DFrame as above
local browser = vgui.Create( "DFileBrowser", frame )
browser:Dock( FILL )
browser:SetPath( "GAME" ) -- The access path i.e. GAME, LUA, DATA etc.
browser:SetBaseFolder( "models" ) -- The root folder
browser:SetName( "Props_ Models" ) -- Name to display in tree
browser:SetSearch( "props_" ) -- Search folders starting with "props_"
browser:SetFileTypes( "*.mdl" ) -- File type filter
browser:SetOpen( true ) -- Opens the tree (same as double clicking)
browser:SetCurrentFolder( "props_badlands" ) -- Set the folder to use
function browser:OnSelect( path, pnl ) -- Called when a file is clicked
RunConsoleCommand( "gm_spawn", path ) -- Spawn the model we clicked
frame:Close()
end
