29 @class wxFilePickerCtrl
30
31 This control allows the user to select a file. The generic implementation is
32 a button which brings up a wxFileDialog when clicked. Native implementation
33 may differ but this is usually a (small) widget which give access to the
34 file-chooser dialog.
35 It is only available if @c wxUSE_FILEPICKERCTRL is set to 1 (the default).
36
37 @beginStyleTable
38 @style{wxFLP_DEFAULT_STYLE}
39 The default style: includes wxFLP_OPEN | wxFLP_FILE_MUST_EXIST and,
40 under wxMSW only, wxFLP_USE_TEXTCTRL.
41 @style{wxFLP_USE_TEXTCTRL}
42 Creates a text control to the left of the picker button which is
43 completely managed by the wxFilePickerCtrl and which can be used by
44 the user to specify a path (see SetPath). The text control is
45 automatically synchronized with button's value. Use functions
46 defined in wxPickerBase to modify the text control.
47 @style{wxFLP_OPEN}
48 Creates a picker which allows the user to select a file to open.
49 @style{wxFLP_SAVE}
50 Creates a picker which allows the user to select a file to save.
51 @style{wxFLP_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
52 Can be combined with wxFLP_SAVE only: ask confirmation to the user
53 before selecting a file.
54 @style{wxFLP_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
55 Can be combined with wxFLP_OPEN only: the selected file must be an
56 existing file.
57 @style{wxFLP_CHANGE_DIR}
58 Change current working directory on each user file selection change.
59 @style{wxFLP_SMALL}
60 Use smaller version of the control with a small "..." button instead
61 of the normal "Browse" one. This flag is new since wxWidgets 2.9.3.
62 @endStyleTable
63
64
65 @beginEventEmissionTable{wxFileDirPickerEvent}
66 @event{EVT_FILEPICKER_CHANGED(id, func)}
67 The user changed the file selected in the control either using the
68 button or using text control (see wxFLP_USE_TEXTCTRL; note that in
69 this case the event is fired only if the user's input is valid,
70 e.g. an existing file path if wxFLP_FILE_MUST_EXIST was given).
