23 @class wxFileDialog
7c913512 24
23324ae1 25 This class represents the file chooser dialog.
7c913512 26
0ce6d6c8 27 The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
9d90f08b
FM
28 If path is ::wxEmptyString, the current directory will be used.
29 If filename is ::wxEmptyString, no default filename will be supplied.
e9c3992c
FM
30 The wildcard determines what files are displayed in the file selector,
31 and file extension supplies a type extension for the required filename.
0ce6d6c8 32
9d90f08b
FM
33 The typical usage for the open file dialog is:
34 @code
35 void MyFrame::OnOpen(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
36 {
37 if (...current content has not been saved...)
38 {
39 if (wxMessageBox(_("Current content has not been saved! Proceed?"), _("Please confirm"),
40 wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO, this) == wxNO )
41 return;
42 //else: proceed asking to the user the new file to open
43 }
44
45 wxFileDialog
46 openFileDialog(this, _("Open XYZ file"), "", "",
47 "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_OPEN|wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST);
48
49 if (openFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
50 return; // the user changed idea...
51
52 // proceed loading the file chosen by the user;
53 // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets input streams:
54 wxFileInputStream input_stream(openFileDialog.GetPath());
55 if (!input_stream.IsOk())
56 {
57 wxLogError("Cannot open file '%s'.", openFileDialog.GetPath());
58 return;
59 }
60
61 ...
62 }
63 @endcode
64
65 The typical usage for the save file dialog is instead somewhat simpler:
66 @code
67 void MyFrame::OnSaveAs(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
68 {
69 wxFileDialog
70 saveFileDialog(this, _("Save XYZ file"), "", "",
71 "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_SAVE|wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT);
72
73 if (saveFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
74 return; // the user changed idea...
75
76 // save the current contents in the file;
77 // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets output streams:
78 wxFileOutputStream output_stream(saveFileDialog.GetPath());
79 if (!output_stream.IsOk())
80 {
81 wxLogError("Cannot save current contents in file '%s'.", saveFileDialog.GetPath());
82 return;
83 }
84
85 ...
86 }
87 @endcode

89 @remarks
90 All implementations of the wxFileDialog provide a wildcard filter. Typing a filename
91 containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and clicking on Ok, will
92 result in only those files matching the pattern being displayed.
93 The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a description
94 for each, such as:
0b70c946 95 @code
0ce6d6c8 96 "BMP and GIF files (*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.gif|PNG files (*.png)|*.png"
0b70c946 97 @endcode
0ce6d6c8 98 It must be noted that wildcard support in the native Motif file dialog is quite
806f8df3 99 limited: only one file type is supported, and it is displayed without the
0ce6d6c8
FM
100 descriptive test; "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp" is displayed as "*.bmp", and both
101 "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif" and "Image files|*.bmp;*.gif"
102 are errors.
103
23324ae1 104 @beginStyleTable
8c6791e4 105 @style{wxFD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
9d90f08b 106 Equivalent to @c wxFD_OPEN.
8c6791e4 107 @style{wxFD_OPEN}
23324ae1 108 This is an open dialog; usually this means that the default
9d90f08b 109 button's label of the dialog is "Open". Cannot be combined with @c wxFD_SAVE.
8c6791e4 110 @style{wxFD_SAVE}
23324ae1 111 This is a save dialog; usually this means that the default button's
9d90f08b 112 label of the dialog is "Save". Cannot be combined with @c wxFD_OPEN.
8c6791e4 113 @style{wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
23324ae1
FM
114 For save dialog only: prompt for a confirmation if a file will be
115 overwritten.
8c6791e4 116 @style{wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
83527a0a
VZ
117 For open dialog only: the user may only select files that actually
118 exist. Notice that under OS X the file dialog with @c wxFD_OPEN
119 style always behaves as if this style was specified, because it is
120 impossible to choose a file that doesn't exist from a standard OS X
121 file dialog.
8c6791e4 122 @style{wxFD_MULTIPLE}
23324ae1 123 For open dialog only: allows selecting multiple files.
8c6791e4 124 @style{wxFD_CHANGE_DIR}
9d90f08b
FM
125 Change the current working directory (when the dialog is dismissed)
126 to the directory where the file(s) chosen by the user are.
8c6791e4 127 @style{wxFD_PREVIEW}
23324ae1 128 Show the preview of the selected files (currently only supported by
d6dae1b4 129 wxGTK).
