This class represents the file chooser dialog.
- It pops up a file selector box (native for Windows and GTK2.4+).
-
The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
- If path is "", the current directory will be used. If filename is "", no default
- filename will be supplied. The wildcard determines what files are displayed in the
- file selector, and file extension supplies a type extension for the required filename.
+ If path is wxEmptyString, the current directory will be used.
+ If filename is wxEmptyString, no default filename will be supplied.
+ The wildcard determines what files are displayed in the file selector,
+ and file extension supplies a type extension for the required filename.
@remarks
All implementations of the wxFileDialog provide a wildcard filter. Typing a filename
result in only those files matching the pattern being displayed.
The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a description
for each, such as:
+ @code
"BMP and GIF files (*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.gif|PNG files (*.png)|*.png"
+ @endcode
It must be noted that wildcard support in the native Motif file dialog is quite
limited: only one alternative is supported, and it is displayed without the
descriptive test; "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp" is displayed as "*.bmp", and both
file(s) chosen by the user are.
