    @class wxFileDialog

    This class represents the file chooser dialog.

    The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
    If path is ::wxEmptyString, the current directory will be used.
    If filename is ::wxEmptyString, no default filename will be supplied.
    The wildcard determines what files are displayed in the file selector,
    and file extension supplies a type extension for the required filename.

    The typical usage for the open file dialog is:
    @code
    void MyFrame::OnOpen(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
    {
        if (...current content has not been saved...)
        {
            if (wxMessageBox(_("Current content has not been saved! Proceed?"), _("Please confirm"),
                             wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO, this) == wxNO )
                return;
            //else: proceed asking to the user the new file to open
        }
        
        wxFileDialog 
            openFileDialog(this, _("Open XYZ file"), "", "",
                           "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_OPEN|wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST);

        if (openFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
            return;     // the user changed idea...
        
        // proceed loading the file chosen by the user;
        // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets input streams:
        wxFileInputStream input_stream(openFileDialog.GetPath());
        if (!input_stream.IsOk())
        {
            wxLogError("Cannot open file '%s'.", openFileDialog.GetPath());
            return;
        }
        
        ...
    }
    @endcode
    
    The typical usage for the save file dialog is instead somewhat simpler:
    @code
    void MyFrame::OnSaveAs(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
    {
        wxFileDialog 
            saveFileDialog(this, _("Save XYZ file"), "", "",
                           "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_SAVE|wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT);

        if (saveFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
            return;     // the user changed idea...
        
        // save the current contents in the file;
        // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets output streams:
        wxFileOutputStream output_stream(saveFileDialog.GetPath());
        if (!output_stream.IsOk())
        {
            wxLogError("Cannot save current contents in file '%s'.", saveFileDialog.GetPath());
            return;
        }
        
        ...
    }
    @endcode

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

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxFD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
           Equivalent to @c wxFD_OPEN.
    @style{wxFD_OPEN}
           This is an open dialog; usually this means that the default
           button's label of the dialog is "Open". Cannot be combined with @c wxFD_SAVE.
    @style{wxFD_SAVE}
           This is a save dialog; usually this means that the default button's
           label of the dialog is "Save". Cannot be combined with @c wxFD_OPEN.
    @style{wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
           For save dialog only: prompt for a confirmation if a file will be
           overwritten.
    @style{wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
           For open dialog only: the user may only select files that actually
           exist. Notice that under OS X the file dialog with @c wxFD_OPEN
           style always behaves as if this style was specified, because it is
           impossible to choose a file that doesn't exist from a standard OS X
           file dialog.
    @style{wxFD_MULTIPLE}
           For open dialog only: allows selecting multiple files.
    @style{wxFD_CHANGE_DIR}
           Change the current working directory (when the dialog is dismissed) 
           to the directory where the file(s) chosen by the user are.
    @style{wxFD_PREVIEW}
           Show the preview of the selected files (currently only supported by
           wxGTK).

    dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with the same functionality. The

    is empty, the current directory will be used. If filename is empty, no

    wxFD_OPEN, wxFD_SAVE, wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT or wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST.

    @note wxFD_MULTIPLE can only be used with wxFileDialog and not here since
          this function only returns a single file name.

    Both the Unix and Windows versions implement a wildcard filter. Typing a

    The application must check for an empty return value (the user pressed
    Cancel). For example:

    @code
    wxString filename = wxFileSelector("Choose a file to open");
    if ( !filename.empty() )
    {
