+@section overview_cmndlg_colour wxColourDialog Overview
+
+Classes: wxColourDialog, wxColourData
+
+The wxColourDialog presents a colour selector to the user, and returns with
+colour information.
+
+@subsection overview_cmndlg_colour_msw The MS Windows Colour Selector
+
+Under Windows, the native colour selector common dialog is used. This presents
+a dialog box with three main regions: at the top left, a palette of 48
+commonly-used colours is shown. Under this, there is a palette of 16
+'custom colours' which can be set by the application if desired. Additionally,
+the user may open up the dialog box to show a right-hand panel containing
+controls to select a precise colour, and add it to the custom colour palette.

+@subsection overview_cmndlg_colour_generic The Generic Colour Selector
- Classes: #wxColourDialog, #wxFontDialog, #wxPrintDialog, #wxFileDialog,
- #wxDirDialog, #wxTextEntryDialog, #wxPasswordEntryDialog,
- #wxMessageDialog, #wxSingleChoiceDialog, #wxMultiChoiceDialog
+Under non-MS Windows platforms, the colour selector is a simulation of most of
+the features of the MS Windows selector. Two palettes of 48 standard and 16
+custom colours are presented, with the right-hand area containing three sliders
+for the user to select a colour from red, green and blue components. This
+colour may be added to the custom colour palette, and will replace either the
+currently selected custom colour, or the first one in the palette if none is
+selected. The RGB colour sliders are not optional in the generic colour
+selector. The generic colour selector is also available under MS Windows; use
+the name wxGenericColourDialog.

+@subsection overview_cmndlg_colour_example Example
+
+In the samples/dialogs directory, there is an example of using the
+wxColourDialog class. Here is an excerpt, which sets various parameters of a
+wxColourData object, including a grey scale for the custom colours. If the user
+did not cancel the dialog, the application retrieves the selected colour and
+uses it to set the background of a window.
+
+@code
+wxColourData data;
+data.SetChooseFull(true);
+for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++)
+{
+ wxColour colour(i*16, i*16, i*16);

- @section overview_cmndlg_colour wxColourDialog overview

+@section overview_cmndlg_print wxPrintDialog Overview
+Classes: wxPrintDialog, wxPrintData
- @section overview_cmndlg_font wxFontDialog overview
+This class represents the print and print setup common dialogs. You may obtain
+a wxPrinterDC device context from a successfully dismissed print dialog.
- Classes: #wxFontDialog, #wxFontData
+The samples/printing example shows how to use it: see @ref overview_printing
+for an excerpt from this example.
- The wxFontDialog presents a font selector to the user, and returns
- with font and colour information.
- @subsection overview_cmndlg_font_msw The MS Windows font selector
+@section overview_cmndlg_file wxFileDialog Overview
- Under Windows, the native font selector common dialog is used. This
- presents a dialog box with controls for font name, point size, style, weight,
- underlining, strikeout and text foreground colour. A sample of the
- font is shown on a white area of the dialog box. Note that
- in the translation from full MS Windows fonts to wxWidgets font
- conventions, strikeout is ignored and a font family (such as
- Swiss or Modern) is deduced from the actual font name (such as Arial
- or Courier).
+Classes: wxFileDialog
- @subsection overview_cmndlg_font_generic The generic font selector
+Pops up a file selector box. On Windows and GTK 2.4+, this is the common file
+selector dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with somewhat less
+functionality. The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file
+pathname.
- Under non-MS Windows platforms, the font selector is simpler.
- Controls for font family, point size, style, weight,
- underlining and text foreground colour are provided, and
- a sample is shown upon a white background. The generic font selector
- is also available under MS Windows; use the name wxGenericFontDialog.
+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. Flags may be a combination of wxFD_OPEN, wxFD_SAVE,
+wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT, wxFD_HIDE_READONLY, wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST, wxFD_MULTIPLE,
+wxFD_CHANGE_DIR or 0.
- @subsection overview_cmndlg_font_example Example
+Both the X and Windows versions implement a wildcard filter. Typing a filename
+containing wildcards (*, ?) in the filename text item, and clicking on Ok, will
+result in only those files matching the pattern being displayed. In the X
+version, supplying no default name will result in the wildcard filter being
+inserted in the filename text item; the filter is ignored if a default name is
+supplied.
- In the samples/dialogs directory, there is an example of using
- the wxFontDialog class. The application uses the returned font
- and colour for drawing text on a canvas. Here is an excerpt:
+The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a
+description for each, such as:
- @code
- wxFontData data;
- data.SetInitialFont(canvasFont);
- data.SetColour(canvasTextColour);
+@verbatim
+"BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
+@endverbatim
- wxFontDialog dialog(this, &data);
- if (dialog.ShowModal() == wxID_OK)

- myWindow-Refresh();
- }

+@section overview_cmndlg_dir wxDirDialog Overview

- @section overview_cmndlg_print wxPrintDialog overview
+This dialog shows a directory selector dialog, allowing the user to select a

- This class represents the print and print setup common dialogs.
- You may obtain a #wxPrinterDC device context from

+@section overview_cmndlg_textentry wxTextEntryDialog Overview
- The samples/printing example shows how to use it: see @ref overview_printing for
- an excerpt from this example.
+Classes: wxTextEntryDialog
+This is a dialog with a text entry field. The value that the user entered is
+obtained using wxTextEntryDialog::GetValue().
- @section overview_cmndlg_file wxFileDialog overview
+@section overview_cmndlg_password wxPasswordEntryDialog Overview
- Classes: #wxFileDialog
+Classes: wxPasswordEntryDialog
- Pops up a file selector box. In Windows and GTK2.4+, this is the common
- file selector dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with somewhat less
- functionality. The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
+This is a dialog with a password entry field. The value that the user entered
+is obtained using wxTextEntryDialog::GetValue().
