10 @class wxFileDialog
7c913512 11
23324ae1 12 This class represents the file chooser dialog.
7c913512 13
0ce6d6c8 14 The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
e9c3992c
FM
15 If path is wxEmptyString, the current directory will be used.
16 If filename is wxEmptyString, no default filename will be supplied.
17 The wildcard determines what files are displayed in the file selector,
18 and file extension supplies a type extension for the required filename.

20 @remarks
21 All implementations of the wxFileDialog provide a wildcard filter. Typing a filename
22 containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and clicking on Ok, will
23 result in only those files matching the pattern being displayed.
24 The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a description
25 for each, such as:
0b70c946 26 @code
0ce6d6c8 27 "BMP and GIF files (*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.gif|PNG files (*.png)|*.png"
0b70c946 28 @endcode
0ce6d6c8
FM
29 It must be noted that wildcard support in the native Motif file dialog is quite
30 limited: only one alternative is supported, and it is displayed without the
31 descriptive test; "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp" is displayed as "*.bmp", and both
32 "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif" and "Image files|*.bmp;*.gif"
33 are errors.

23324ae1 37 Equivalent to wxFD_OPEN.
8c6791e4 38 @style{wxFD_OPEN}
23324ae1 39 This is an open dialog; usually this means that the default
0ce6d6c8 40 button's label of the dialog is "Open". Cannot be combined with wxFD_SAVE.
8c6791e4 41 @style{wxFD_SAVE}
23324ae1
FM
42 This is a save dialog; usually this means that the default button's
43 label of the dialog is "Save". Cannot be combined with wxFD_OPEN.
8c6791e4 44 @style{wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
23324ae1
FM
45 For save dialog only: prompt for a confirmation if a file will be
46 overwritten.
8c6791e4 47 @style{wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
0ce6d6c8 48 For open dialog only: the user may only select files that actually exist.
8c6791e4 49 @style{wxFD_MULTIPLE}
23324ae1 50 For open dialog only: allows selecting multiple files.
8c6791e4 51 @style{wxFD_CHANGE_DIR}
23324ae1
FM
52 Change the current working directory to the directory where the
53 file(s) chosen by the user are.
8c6791e4 54 @style{wxFD_PREVIEW}
23324ae1 55 Show the preview of the selected files (currently only supported by
d6dae1b4 56 wxGTK).
