18 @style{wxFC_DEFAULT_STYLE}
19 The default style: wxFC_OPEN
21 Creates an file control suitable for opening files. Cannot be
22 combined with wxFC_SAVE.
24 Creates an file control suitable for saving files. Cannot be

28 combined with wxFC_SAVE
29 @style{wxFC_NOSHOWHIDDEN}
30 Hides the "Show Hidden Files" checkbox (Generic only)
33 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxFileCtrlEvent}
34 @event{EVT_FILECTRL_FILEACTIVATED(id, func)}
35 The user activated a file(by double-clicking or pressing Enter)
36 @event{EVT_FILECTRL_SELECTIONCHANGED(id, func)}
37 The user changed the current selection(by selecting or deselecting a file)
38 @event{EVT_FILECTRL_FOLDERCHANGED(id, func)}
39 The current folder of the file control has been changed
44 @appearance{filectrl.png}
50 class wxFileCtrl
: public wxWindow
56 Constructs the window.
59 Parent window, must not be non-@NULL.
61 The identifier for the control.
62 @param defaultDirectory
63 The initial directory shown in the control.
64 Must be a valid path to a directory or the empty string.
65 In case it is the empty string, the current working directory is used.
66 @param defaultFilename
67 The default filename, or the empty string.
69 A wildcard specifying which files can be selected,
70 such as "*.*" or "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif".
72 The window style, see wxFC_* flags.
80 @return @true if the control was successfully created or @false if

105 Returns the current directory of the file control (i.e. the directory shown by it).
107 virtual wxString
GetDirectory() const;
110 Returns the currently selected filename.
112 For the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE style, use GetFilenames() instead.
114 virtual wxString
GetFilename() const;
117 Fills the array @a filenames with the filenames only of selected items.
119 This function should only be used with the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE
120 style, use GetFilename() for the others.
122 @remarks filenames is emptied first.
124 virtual void GetFilenames(wxArrayString
& filenames
) const;
127 Returns the zero-based index of the currently selected filter.
129 virtual int GetFilterIndex() const;
132 Returns the full path (directory and filename) of the currently selected file.
133 For the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE style, use GetPaths() instead.
135 virtual wxString
GetPath() const;
138 Fills the array @a paths with the full paths of the files chosen.
140 This function should be used with the controls having the @c wxFC_MULTIPLE style,
141 use GetPath() otherwise.
143 @remarks paths is emptied first.
145 virtual void GetPaths(wxArrayString
& paths
) const;
148 Returns the current wildcard.
150 virtual wxString
GetWildcard() const;
153 Sets(changes) the current directory displayed in the control.
155 @return Returns @true on success, @false otherwise.
157 virtual bool SetDirectory(const wxString
& directory
);
160 Selects a certain file.
162 @return Returns @true on success, @false otherwise
164 virtual bool SetFilename(const wxString
& filename
);
167 Sets the current filter index, starting from zero.
169 virtual void SetFilterIndex(int filterIndex
);
172 Sets the wildcard, which can contain multiple file types, for example:
173 "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
175 virtual void SetWildcard(const wxString
& wildCard
);
178 Sets whether hidden files and folders are shown or not.
180 virtual void ShowHidden(bool show
);
186 @class wxFileCtrlEvent
188 A file control event holds information about events associated with
191 @beginEventTable{wxFileCtrlEvent}
192 @event{EVT_FILECTRL_FILEACTIVATED(id, func)}
193 The user activated a file(by double-clicking or pressing Enter)
194 @event{EVT_FILECTRL_SELECTIONCHANGED(id, func)}
195 The user changed the current selection(by selecting or deselecting a file)
196 @event{EVT_FILECTRL_FOLDERCHANGED(id, func)}
197 The current folder of the file control has been changed
203 class wxFileCtrlEvent
: public wxCommandEvent
209 wxFileCtrlEvent(wxEventType type
, wxObject
*evtObject
, int id
);
212 Returns the current directory.
214 In case of a @b EVT_FILECTRL_FOLDERCHANGED, this method returns the new
217 wxString
GetDirectory() const;
220 Returns the file selected (assuming it is only one file).
222 wxString
GetFile() const;
225 Returns the files selected.
227 In case of a @b EVT_FILECTRL_SELECTIONCHANGED, this method returns the
228 files selected after the event.
230 wxArrayString
GetFiles() const;
233 Sets the files changed by this event.
235 void SetFiles(const wxArrayString
& files
);
239 Sets the directory of this event.
241 void SetDirectory( const wxString
