    @style{wxFC_DEFAULT_STYLE}
           The default style: wxFC_OPEN
    @style{wxFC_OPEN}
           Creates an file control suitable for opening files. Cannot be
           combined with wxFC_SAVE.
    @style{wxFC_SAVE}
           Creates an file control suitable for saving files. Cannot be
           combined with wxFC_OPEN.
    @style{wxFC_MULTIPLE}
           For open control only, Allows selecting multiple files. Cannot be
           combined with wxFC_SAVE
    @style{wxFC_NOSHOWHIDDEN}
           Hides the "Show Hidden Files" checkbox (Generic only)
    @endStyleTable
