30 @class wxFileDialog
7c913512 31
23324ae1 32 This class represents the file chooser dialog.
7c913512 33
0ce6d6c8 34 The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
9d90f08b
FM
35 If path is ::wxEmptyString, the current directory will be used.
36 If filename is ::wxEmptyString, no default filename will be supplied.
e9c3992c
FM
37 The wildcard determines what files are displayed in the file selector,
38 and file extension supplies a type extension for the required filename.
0ce6d6c8 39
9d90f08b
FM
40 The typical usage for the open file dialog is:
41 @code
42 void MyFrame::OnOpen(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
43 {
44 if (...current content has not been saved...)
45 {
46 if (wxMessageBox(_("Current content has not been saved! Proceed?"), _("Please confirm"),
47 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO, this) == wxNO )
48 return;
49 //else: proceed asking to the user the new file to open
50 }
51
52 wxFileDialog
53 openFileDialog(this, _("Open XYZ file"), "", "",
54 "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_OPEN|wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST);
55
56 if (openFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
57 return; // the user changed idea...
58
59 // proceed loading the file chosen by the user;
60 // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets input streams:
61 wxFileInputStream input_stream(openFileDialog.GetPath());
62 if (!input_stream.IsOk())
63 {
64 wxLogError("Cannot open file '%s'.", openFileDialog.GetPath());
65 return;
66 }
67
68 ...
69 }
70 @endcode
71
72 The typical usage for the save file dialog is instead somewhat simpler:
73 @code
74 void MyFrame::OnSaveAs(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
75 {
76 wxFileDialog
77 saveFileDialog(this, _("Save XYZ file"), "", "",
78 "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_SAVE|wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT);
79
80 if (saveFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
81 return; // the user changed idea...
82
83 // save the current contents in the file;
84 // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets output streams:
85 wxFileOutputStream output_stream(saveFileDialog.GetPath());
86 if (!output_stream.IsOk())
87 {
88 wxLogError("Cannot save current contents in file '%s'.", saveFileDialog.GetPath());
89 return;
90 }
91
92 ...
93 }
94 @endcode
95
0ce6d6c8
FM
96 @remarks
97 All implementations of the wxFileDialog provide a wildcard filter. Typing a filename
98 containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and clicking on Ok, will
99 result in only those files matching the pattern being displayed.
100 The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a description
101 for each, such as:
0b70c946 102 @code
0ce6d6c8 103 "BMP and GIF files (*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.gif|PNG files (*.png)|*.png"
0b70c946 104 @endcode
0ce6d6c8 105 It must be noted that wildcard support in the native Motif file dialog is quite
806f8df3 106 limited: only one file type is supported, and it is displayed without the
0ce6d6c8
FM
107 descriptive test; "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp" is displayed as "*.bmp", and both
108 "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif" and "Image files|*.bmp;*.gif"
109 are errors.

8c6791e4 112 @style{wxFD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
9d90f08b 113 Equivalent to @c wxFD_OPEN.
8c6791e4 114 @style{wxFD_OPEN}
23324ae1 115 This is an open dialog; usually this means that the default
9d90f08b 116 button's label of the dialog is "Open". Cannot be combined with @c wxFD_SAVE.
8c6791e4 117 @style{wxFD_SAVE}
23324ae1 118 This is a save dialog; usually this means that the default button's
9d90f08b 119 label of the dialog is "Save". Cannot be combined with @c wxFD_OPEN.
8c6791e4 120 @style{wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
23324ae1
FM
121 For save dialog only: prompt for a confirmation if a file will be
122 overwritten.
8c6791e4 123 @style{wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
83527a0a
VZ
124 For open dialog only: the user may only select files that actually
125 exist. Notice that under OS X the file dialog with @c wxFD_OPEN
126 style always behaves as if this style was specified, because it is
127 impossible to choose a file that doesn't exist from a standard OS X
128 file dialog.
8c6791e4 129 @style{wxFD_MULTIPLE}
23324ae1 130 For open dialog only: allows selecting multiple files.
8c6791e4 131 @style{wxFD_CHANGE_DIR}
9d90f08b
FM
132 Change the current working directory (when the dialog is dismissed)
133 to the directory where the file(s) chosen by the user are.
8c6791e4 134 @style{wxFD_PREVIEW}
23324ae1 135 Show the preview of the selected files (currently only supported by
d6dae1b4 136 wxGTK).
