@class wxFileDialog
This class represents the file chooser dialog.
The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
- If path is wxEmptyString, the current directory will be used.
- If filename is wxEmptyString, no default filename will be supplied.
+ 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.
+ The typical usage for the open file dialog is:
+ @code
+ void MyFrame::OnOpen(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
+ {
+ if (...current content has not been saved...)
+ {
+ if (wxMessageBox(_("Current content has not been saved! Proceed?"), _("Please confirm"),
+ wxICON_QUESTION | wxYES_NO, this) == wxNO )
+ return;
+ //else: proceed asking to the user the new file to open
+ }
+
+ wxFileDialog
+ openFileDialog(this, _("Open XYZ file"), "", "",
+ "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_OPEN|wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST);
+
+ if (openFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
+ return; // the user changed idea...
+
+ // proceed loading the file chosen by the user;
+ // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets input streams:
+ wxFileInputStream input_stream(openFileDialog.GetPath());
+ if (!input_stream.IsOk())
+ {
+ wxLogError("Cannot open file '%s'.", openFileDialog.GetPath());
+ return;
+ }
+
+ ...
+ }
+ @endcode
+
+ The typical usage for the save file dialog is instead somewhat simpler:
+ @code
+ void MyFrame::OnSaveAs(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
+ {
+ wxFileDialog
+ saveFileDialog(this, _("Save XYZ file"), "", "",
+ "XYZ files (*.xyz)|*.xyz", wxFD_SAVE|wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT);
+
+ if (saveFileDialog.ShowModal() == wxID_CANCEL)
+ return; // the user changed idea...
+
+ // save the current contents in the file;
+ // this can be done with e.g. wxWidgets output streams:
+ wxFileOutputStream output_stream(saveFileDialog.GetPath());
+ if (!output_stream.IsOk())
+ {
+ wxLogError("Cannot save current contents in file '%s'.", saveFileDialog.GetPath());
+ return;
+ }
+
+ ...
+ }
+ @endcode
+
@remarks
All implementations of the wxFileDialog provide a wildcard filter. Typing a filename
containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and clicking on Ok, will
"BMP and GIF files (*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.gif|PNG files (*.png)|*.png"

It must be noted that wildcard support in the native Motif file dialog is quite

are errors.

@style{wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
For save dialog only: prompt for a confirmation if a file will be
overwritten.
@style{wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
- For open dialog only: the user may only select files that actually exist.

@style{wxFD_MULTIPLE}
For open dialog only: allows selecting multiple files.

Show the preview of the selected files (currently only supported by
