DirMenu (leaf, event)

A ``directory menu'' is a button connected to a FileBrowser. The button displays the name of the last (nearest) component of the FileBrowser's current directory.


For
(Symbol)

The name of a FileBrowser. This property is required.

Behavior
The directory menu shows the FileBrowser's parent-directories, one parent per line, down to first component of the path, which is typically the root directory. Selecting an item in this menu makes that parent-directory be the FileBrowser's current directory.
Shape
The shape of a TextVBT containing the name of the parent, plus the shadow.
Notes
A DirMenu never generates events in its own name. It can be accessed in its own name, but this is not recommended.
In a typical "Open File..." dialog, the DirMenu is above the FileBrowser, and the Helper is below. See Figure [FileBrowserFigure]
