ControlContext :: directoryPath - Get directory path
The function opens a file dialog in order to browse a valid directory path. After selecting and confirming the directory (OK), the complete path will be returned. In order to initialize the dialog, a starting position may be passed in sFilePath. For filtering displayed entries, a file mask passed in sFileMask may be used (e.g. '*.txt').
Return value: String value ( odaba::String )
