If [CTK documentation](http://www.commontk.org/docs/html/classctkDirectoryButton.html) is not clear enough then you can check out how ctkDirectoryButton is used in Slicer itself, for example in DICOM module: [https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/Modules/Scripted/DICOM/DICOM.py](https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/Modules/Scripted/DICOM/DICOM.py)
