Select Directory with TGFileDialog

ROOT
1

Dear ROOTers,

is there a way, to select a directory with the help of the class TGFileDialog?
Usually, it’s possible to select a file or mutliple files. But I want to select a directory. I wasn’t successfull on finding a solution on this problem, so here my question:
Is there a special filter which can be used? Or exists another class providing the function to get a directory?

Thanks for your help.

Fabian
