There are a whole plentitude of examples with the jedi components, Ive
had very few instances where I couldnt find out what I needed

Same as you do for most of those dialog type components

If jvselectdirectory1.execute then
showmessage(jvselectdirectory1.directory);

the execute causes the window to show, and if exited cleanly, then the
variables are set.. In this case the string holding the selected
directory is called .directory.

(easily spotted with code completion)

Normally people try and mimic their components to perform similarly to
others of the same vein so you dont need to be that rocket scientist to
work it out. All the dialog, savedialog, loaddialog etc all work in
this manner

Again, the highlighted option is found under the
jvdirectorylistbox1.directory property
