wxWidgets = 2.9.3
OS = Windows 7
IDE = Visual Studio 2005
Hi,
I am making a subclass of wxDirDialog. I notice that if you pass it though a valid defaultPath value in its constructor, the subsequent dialog that appears will have the requested folder selected but if the directory is fairly well nested then you have to really scroll to find out just where that folder is ie it appears that the scrollbar always appears at the absolute top of all directories. Is there any way for me to not just highlight the defaultPath folder as it already does, but to also automatically scroll the directory list so that the selected folder can actually be seen on screen?
Thanks,
Patrick

Not in 2.9.3 but in 2.9.4 a completely different dialog is used so you
shouldn't have this problem any more.

Ok thanks Vadim. I think I'll upgrade us when 2.9.5 come out. What's different about the new dialog?

It's like wxFileDialog and not another completely different one, see #11401.
