    @class wxFilePickerCtrl

    This control allows the user to select a file. The generic implementation is
    a button which brings up a wxFileDialog when clicked. Native implementation
    may differ but this is usually a (small) widget which give access to the
    file-chooser dialog.
    It is only available if @c wxUSE_FILEPICKERCTRL is set to 1 (the default).

    @beginStyleTable
    @style{wxFLP_DEFAULT_STYLE}
           The default style: includes wxFLP_OPEN | wxFLP_FILE_MUST_EXIST and,
           under wxMSW only, wxFLP_USE_TEXTCTRL.
    @style{wxFLP_USE_TEXTCTRL}
           Creates a text control to the left of the picker button which is
           completely managed by the wxFilePickerCtrl and which can be used by
           the user to specify a path (see SetPath). The text control is
           automatically synchronized with button's value. Use functions
           defined in wxPickerBase to modify the text control.
    @style{wxFLP_OPEN}
           Creates a picker which allows the user to select a file to open.
    @style{wxFLP_SAVE}
           Creates a picker which allows the user to select a file to save.
    @style{wxFLP_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
           Can be combined with wxFLP_SAVE only: ask confirmation to the user
           before selecting a file.
    @style{wxFLP_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
           Can be combined with wxFLP_OPEN only: the selected file must be an
           existing file.
    @style{wxFLP_CHANGE_DIR}
           Change current working directory on each user file selection change.
    @style{wxFLP_SMALL}
           Use smaller version of the control with a small "..." button instead
           of the normal "Browse" one. This flag is new since wxWidgets 2.9.3.
    @endStyleTable


    @beginEventEmissionTable{wxFileDirPickerEvent}
    @event{EVT_FILEPICKER_CHANGED(id, func)}
        The user changed the file selected in the control either using the
        button or using text control (see wxFLP_USE_TEXTCTRL; note that in
        this case the event is fired only if the user's input is valid,
        e.g. an existing file path if wxFLP_FILE_MUST_EXIST was given).
