18 @style{wxFC_DEFAULT_STYLE}:
19 The default style: wxFC_OPEN
21 Creates an file control suitable for opening files. Cannot be

56 such as "*.*" or "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif".
58 The window style, see wxFC_* flags.
66 @returns @true if the control was successfully created or @false if

93 Returns the current directory of the file control (i.e. the directory shown by
96 wxString
GetDirectory() const;
99 Returns the currently selected filename.
100 For the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE style, use GetFilenames()
103 wxString
GetFilename() const;
106 Fills the array @a filenames with the filenames only of selected items. This
107 function should only be used with the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE
109 use GetFilename() for the others.
111 @remarks filenames is emptied first.
113 void GetFilenames(wxArrayString
& filenames
) const;
116 Returns the zero-based index of the currently selected filter.
118 int GetFilterIndex() const;
121 Returns the full path (directory and filename) of the currently selected file.
122 For the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE style, use GetPaths()
125 wxString
GetPath() const;
128 Fills the array @a paths with the full paths of the files chosen. This
129 function should be used with the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE style,
130 use GetPath() otherwise.
132 @remarks paths is emptied first.
134 void GetPaths(wxArrayString
& paths
) const;
137 Returns the current wildcard.
139 wxString
GetWildcard() const;
142 Sets(changes) the current directory displayed in the control.
144 @returns Returns @true on success, @false otherwise.
146 bool SetDirectory(const wxString
& directory
);
149 Selects a certain file.
151 @returns Returns @true on success, @false otherwise
153 bool SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
);
156 Sets the current filter index, starting from zero.
158 void SetFilterIndex(int filterIndex
);
161 Sets the wildcard, which can contain multiple file types, for example:
162 "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
164 void SetWildcard(const wxString
& wildCard
);
167 Sets whether hidden files and folders are shown or not.
169 void ShowHidden(const bool show
);
174 @class wxFileCtrlEvent
175 @wxheader{filectrl.h}
177 A file control event holds information about events associated with
183 class wxFileCtrlEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
189 wxFileCtrlEvent(wxEventType type
, wxObject evtObject
, int id
);
192 Returns the current directory.
193 In case of a @b EVT_FILECTRL_FOLDERCHANGED, this method returns the new
196 wxString
GetDirectory() const;
199 Returns the file selected(assuming it is only one file).
201 wxString
GetFile() const;
204 Returns the files selected.
205 In case of a @b EVT_FILECTRL_SELECTIONCHANGED, this method returns the
206 files selected after the event.
208 wxArrayString
GetFiles() const;
211 Sets the files changed by this event.
213 wxFileCtrlEvent::SetFiles(const wxArrayString files
);
