Gtk::FileSelectionwrap (GtkFileSelection* object, bool take_copy=false)
 A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Detailed Description

Prompt the user for a file or directory name.

Gtk::FileSelection should be used to retrieve file or directory names from the user. It will create a new dialog window containing a directory list, and a file list corresponding to the current working directory. The filesystem can be navigated using the directory list or the drop-down history menu. Alternatively, the TAB key can be used to navigate using filename completion - common in text based editors such as emacs and jed.

Deprecated:
Use the FileChooserDialog instead.

Member Function Documentation

void Gtk::FileSelection::complete ( const Glib::ustring pattern  ) 
const HBox* Gtk::FileSelection::get_action_area (  )  const

Returns the action area of dialog.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
The action area.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Dialog.

HBox* Gtk::FileSelection::get_action_area (  ) 

Returns the action area of dialog.

Since gtkmm 2.14:
Returns:
The action area.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Dialog.

HButtonBox* Gtk::FileSelection::get_button_area (  )

const TreeView* Gtk::FileSelection::get_file_list (  )  const
TreeView* Gtk::FileSelection::get_file_list (  ) 
std::string Gtk::FileSelection::get_filename (  )  const

This function returns the selected filename in the GLib file name encoding.

To convert to UTF-8, call Glib::filename_to_utf8(). The returned string points to a statically allocated buffer and should be copied if you plan to keep it around.

If no file is selected then the selected directory path is returned.

Returns:
Currently-selected filename in the on-disk encoding.
const Button* Gtk::FileSelection::get_help_button (  )  const
Button* Gtk::FileSelection::get_help_button (  ) 
const OptionMenu* Gtk::FileSelection::get_history_pulldown (  )  const

const Button* Gtk::FileSelection::get_ok_button (  )  const
Button* Gtk::FileSelection::get_ok_button (  ) 
bool Gtk::FileSelection::get_select_multiple (  )  const

Determines whether or not the user is allowed to select multiple files in the file list.

See set_select_multiple().

Returns:
true if the user is allowed to select multiple files in the file list.
const Entry* Gtk::FileSelection::get_selection_entry (  )  const
Entry* Gtk::FileSelection::get_selection_entry (  ) 
const Label* Gtk::FileSelection::get_selection_text (  )  const
Label* Gtk::FileSelection::get_selection_text (  ) 
Glib::ArrayHandle<std::string> Gtk::FileSelection::get_selections (  )  const

Retrieves the list of file selections the user has made in the dialog box.

This function is intended for use when the user can select multiple files in the file list.

The filenames are in the GLib file name encoding. To convert to UTF-8, call Glib::filename_to_utf8() on each string.

Returns:
A newly-allocated 0-terminated array of strings. Use Glib::strfreev() to free it.
const GtkFileSelection* Gtk::FileSelection::gobj (  )  const [inline]

Provides access to the underlying C GtkObject.

Reimplemented from Gtk::Dialog.

GtkFileSelection* Gtk::FileSelection::gobj (  )  [inline]

void Gtk::FileSelection::hide_fileop_buttons (  ) 
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<std::string> Gtk::FileSelection::property_filename (  )  const

The currently selected filename.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy<std::string> Gtk::FileSelection::property_filename (  ) 

The currently selected filename.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gtk::FileSelection::property_select_multiple (  )  const

Whether to allow multiple files to be selected.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::FileSelection::property_select_multiple (  ) 

Whether to allow multiple files to be selected.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly<bool> Gtk::FileSelection::property_show_fileops (  )  const

Whether buttons for creating/manipulating files should be displayed.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy<bool> Gtk::FileSelection::property_show_fileops (  ) 

Whether buttons for creating/manipulating files should be displayed.

You rarely need to use properties because there are get_ and set_ methods for almost all of them.

Returns:
A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the property of the value, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
void Gtk::FileSelection::set_filename ( const std::string filename  ) 

Sets a default path for the file requestor.

If filename includes a directory path, then the requestor will open with that path as its current working directory.

This has the consequence that in order to open the requestor with a working directory and an empty filename, filename must have a trailing directory separator.

The encoding of filename is preferred GLib file name encoding, which may not be UTF-8. See Glib::filename_from_utf8().

Parameters:
filename A string to set as the default file name.
void Gtk::FileSelection::set_select_multiple ( bool  select_multiple = true  ) 

Sets whether the user is allowed to select multiple files in the file list.

Use get_selections() to get the list of selected files.

Parameters:
select_multiple Whether or not the user is allowed to select multiple files in the file list.
void Gtk::FileSelection::show_fileop_buttons (  )
