# Selecting Files and Directories

One task that an application has to perform frequently is to ask the user to select files or directories. To select files, you can use the Tix File Selection Widgets: TixFileSelectDialog and TixExFileSelectDialog. To select directories, you can use the Tix Directory Selection Widgets: TixDirList and TixDirTree.
