+\func{static wxString}{GetImageExtWildcard}{\void}
+
+Iterates all registered wxImageHandler objects, and returns a string containing file extension masks
+suitable for passing to file open/save dialog boxes.
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The format of the returned string is "(*.ext1;*.ext2)|*.ext1;*.ext2".
+
+It is usually a good idea to prepend a description before passing the result to the dialog.

+Example:

+\begin{verbatim}
+ wxFileDialog FileDlg( this, "Choose Image", ::wxGetWorkingDirectory(), "", _("Image Files ") + wxImage::GetImageExtWildcard(), wxOPEN );
