'uigetdir' command is not working in MATLAB 6.1

Hi All,

i am developing a gui in MATLAB 6.1.

i would like to select a directory, whereas 'uigetdir' command is not working in MATLAB 6.1

requesting your help to know how to select a directory in MATLAB 6.1

Note: i cant move out of MATLAB 6.1 due to some constraints.

Thanks..

Venkat

Define "not working".

Does it throw an error? If so what is the full and exact text of the error message (everything displayed in red?)

Does it issue a warning? If so what is the full and exact text of the warning message (everything displayed in orange?)

Does it give you a different result than you expected? If so, please explain in more detail the result you received and the result you expected.

Hello Steven Lord,

it thrown an error saying "Undefined function or variable 'uigetdir'".

it doesnt prefixed either error or warning. just said "Undefined function or variable uigetdir"

Thanks..

uigetdir() was added in MATLAB 6.5 .

See though https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/332-uigetfolder

Thanks Walter...could you help me on how to use this dll?

[Walter Roberson]

Make sure the .m and the dll are both on your MATLAB path. Then just call the function with appropriate parameters:

%UIGETFOLDER   Standard Windows browse for folder dialog box.
%
%   folder = uigetfolder(title, initial_path)
%
%   Output: folder       = selected folder (empty string if dialog cancelled)
%   Inputs: title        = title string (OPTIONAL)
%           initial_path = initial path (OPTIONAL, defaults to PWD)
%
%   Examples:   folder = uigetfolder                          - default title and initial path
%               folder = uigetfolder('Select results folder') - default initial path
%               folder = uigetfolder([], 'C:\Program Files')  - default title
