<H3>Description</H3>
<P>The <CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE> widget displays a standard file selection
dialog that supports various selection modes.
<CENTER><IMG SRC="Fl_File_Chooser.jpg" WIDTH="498" HEIGHT="408" ALT="Fl_File_Chooser widget"></CENTER>
<P>The <CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE> class also exports several static values
that may be used to localize or customize the appearance of all file chooser
dialogs:

<P>The <CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE> class exports the "new
directory" (<CODE>newButton</CODE>) and "preview"
(<CODE>previewButton</CODE>) widgets so that application
developers can control their appearance and use. For more
complex customization, consider copying the FLTK file chooser
code and changing it accordingly.

<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.Fl_File_Chooser">Fl_File_Chooser(const char *pathname, const char *pattern,
int type, const char *title)</A></H4>
<P>The constructor creates the <CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE> dialog pictured
above. The <CODE>pathname</CODE> argument can be a directory name or a
complete file name (in which case the corresponding file is highlighted
in the list and in the filename input field.)
<P>The <CODE>pattern</CODE> argument can be a <CODE>NULL</CODE>
string or <CODE>"*"</CODE> to list all files, or it can be a
series of descriptions and filter strings separated by tab
characters (<TT>\t</TT>). The format of filters is either
"Description text (patterns)" or just "patterns". A file chooser
that provides filters for HTML and image files might look like:
<UL><PRE>
"HTML Files (*.html)\tImage Files (*.{bmp,gif,jpg,png})"
</PRE></UL>
<P>The file chooser will automatically add the "All Files (*)"
pattern to the end of the string you pass if you do not provide
one. The first filter in the string is the default filter.
<P>See the FLTK documentation on <A
HREF="functions.html#fl_filename_match"><CODE>fl_filename_match()</CODE></A>
for the kinds of pattern strings that are supported.
<P>The <CODE>type</CODE> argument can be one of the following:
<UL>
<LI><CODE>SINGLE</CODE> - allows the user to select a
single, existing file.
<LI><CODE>MULTI</CODE> - allows the user to select one
or more existing files.
<LI><CODE>CREATE</CODE> - allows the user to select a
single, existing file or specify a new filename.
<LI><CODE>DIRECTORY</CODE> - allows the user to select a
single, existing directory.
</UL>
<P>The <CODE>title</CODE> argument is used to set the title bar text for the
<CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE> window.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.~Fl_File_Chooser">~Fl_File_Chooser()</A></H4>
<P>Destroys the widget and frees all memory used by it.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.color">void color(Fl_Color c)<BR>
Fl_Color color()</A></H4>
<P>Sets or gets the background color of the <CODE>Fl_File_Browser</CODE> list.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.count">int count()</A></H4>
<P>Returns the number of selected files.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.directory">void directory(const char *pathname)<BR>
const char *directory()</A></H4>
<P>Sets or gets the current directory.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.filter">void filter(const char *pattern)<BR>
const char *filter()</A></H4>
<P>Sets or gets the current filename filter patterns. The filter
patterns use <A
href="#fl_filename_match"><tt>fl_filename_match()</tt></A>.
Multiple patterns can be used by separating them with tabs, like
"*.jpg\t*.png\t*.gif\t*". In addition, you can provide
human-readable labels with the patterns inside parenthesis, like
"JPEG&nbsp;Files&nbsp;(*.jpg)\tPNG&nbsp;Files&nbsp;(*.png)\tGIF&nbsp;Files&nbsp;(*.gif)\tAll&nbsp;Files&nbsp;(*)".
Use <tt>filter(NULL)</tt> to show all files.</p>
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.filter_value">void filter_value(int f)<BR>
int filter_value()</A></H4>
<P>Sets or gets the current filename filter selection.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.hide">void hide()</A></H4>
<P>Hides the <CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE> window.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.iconsize">void iconsize(uchar s)<BR>
uchar iconsize()</A></H4>
<P>Sets or gets the size of the icons in the <CODE>Fl_File_Browser</CODE>. By
default the icon size is set to 1.5 times the <CODE>textsize()</CODE>.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.label">void label(const char *l)<BR>
const char *label()</A></H4>
<P>Sets or gets the title bar text for the <CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE>.

const char *ok_label()</A></H4>
<P>Sets or gets the label for the "ok" button in the
<CODE>Fl_File_Chooser</CODE>.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.preview">void preview(int e)<BR>
int preview()</A></H4>

The second form returns the current state of the preview box.
<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.rescan">void rescan()</A></H4>

<H4><A NAME="Fl_File_Chooser.textcolor">void textcolor(Fl_Color c)<BR>
Fl_Color textcolor()</A></H4>
