Gtk.Dialog Gtk.IFileChooser is a dialog box suitable for use with "File/Open" or "File/Save as" commands. This widget works by putting a inside a . It exposes the interface, so you can use all of the functions on the file chooser dialog as well as those for . Similar to but in a dialog. Typical usage. In the simplest of cases, you can use the following code to select a file for opening: public class MainWindow: Gtk.Window { protected virtual void OnBtnLoadFileClicked(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Gtk.FileChooserDialog fc= new Gtk.FileChooserDialog("Choose the file to open", this, FileChooserAction.Open, "Cancel",ResponseType.Cancel, "Open",ResponseType.Accept); if (fc.Run() == (int)ResponseType.Accept) { System.IO.FileStream file=System.IO.File.OpenRead(fc.Filename); file.Close(); } //Don't forget to call Destroy() or the FileChooserDialog window won't get closed. fc.Destroy(); } Constructor To be added To be added Constructor a , pointer to underlying C object. Constructor for internal use. Constructor System.ParamArray a title a parent for the dialog, or . See . an action, for example save or open. a list of button text/response pairs for buttons to be added to the dialog, if desired. The pair format is , (see an example in overview section of ) Creates a file chooser dialog. By default, a comes with no buttons, so you'd better provide at least the most basics one (Save/Cancel or Open/Cancel) or your user won't be able to do anything apart from closing the dialog ( closing the dialog returns .None ) Property GLib.Property("action") Gtk.FileChooserAction Sets the type of operation that that the chooser is performing; the user interface is adapted to suit the selected action. a For example, an option to create a new folder might be shown if the action is but not if the action is . Method System.Void a Adds to the list of filters that the user can select between. When a filter is selected, only files that are passed by that filter are displayed. Method System.Boolean a Adds a folder to be displayed with the shortcut folders in a file chooser. a Note that shortcut folders do not get saved, as they are provided by the application. For example, you can use this to add a "/usr/share/mydrawprogram/Clipart" folder to the volume list. Method System.Boolean a Adds a folder URI to be displayed with the shortcut folders in a file chooser. a , true if the folder could be added successfully, false otherwise. Note that shortcut folders do not get saved, as they are provided by the application. For example, you can use this to add a "file:///usr/share/mydrawprogram/Clipart" folder to the volume list. Event GLib.Signal("confirm-overwrite") Gtk.ConfirmOverwriteHandler Indicates a file overwrite has been requested. This event is raised when the user has selected a file name that already exists and the file chooser is in mode. Most applications just need to turn on the property and they will automatically get a stock confirmation dialog. Applications which need to customize this behavior should do that, and also connect to this event. A connected to this event must set to the value indicating the action to take. If the handler determines that the user wants to select a different filename, it should return . If it determines that the user is satisfied with his choice of file name, it should return . On the other hand, if it determines that the stock confirmation dialog should be used, it should return . Property GLib.Property("create-folders") System.Boolean To be added. To be added. To be added. Property System.String The current folder for the file chooser, when the chooser has selected a local filename. a Event GLib.Signal("current-folder-changed") System.EventHandler This signal is emitted when the current folder in a file chooser changes. This event can happen due to the user performing some action that changes folders, such as selecting a bookmark or visiting a folder on the file list. It can also happen as a result of calling a function to explicitly change the current folder in a file chooser. Normally you do not need to connect to this signal, unless you need to keep track of which folder a file chooser is showing. Property GLib.IFile To be added. To be added. To be added. Property System.String The file chooser's current folder, if set from a URI. a Property System.String Property to represent the current name in the file selector, as if entered by the user. a Note that the name passed in here is a UTF-8 string rather than a filename. This function is meant for such uses as a suggested name in a "Save As..." dialog. Property GLib.Property("do-overwrite-confirmation") System.Boolean Enables Overwrite Confirmation in the dialog. if confirmation should be performed.

Event GLib.Signal("file-activated") System.EventHandler This signal is emitted when the user "activates" a file in the file chooser. This event can happen by double-clicking on a file in the file list, or by pressing Enter. Normally you do not need to connect to this signal. It is used internally by the file chooser code to know when to activate the default button in the dialog.

Property System.String The URI that should be previewed in a custom preview widget. a Property GLib.Property("preview-widget") Gtk.Widget An application-supplied widget to use to display a custom preview of the currently selected file. a To implement a preview, after setting the preview widget, you connect to the signal, and check or on each change. If you can display a preview of the new file, update your widget and set the preview active using Otherwise, set the preview inactive. When there is no application-supplied preview widget, or the application-supplied preview widget is not active, the file chooser may display an internally generated preview of the current file or it may display no preview at all. Property GLib.Property("preview-widget-active") System.Boolean Sets whether the preview widget set by should be shown for the current filename. a When this property is set to false, the file chooser may display an internally generated preview of the current file or it may display no preview at all.

This is equivalent to a sequence of followed by . Note that the file must exist, or nothing will be done except for the directory change.

Event GLib.Signal("update-preview") System.EventHandler This signal is emitted when the preview in a file chooser should be regenerated. For example, this can happen when the currently selected file changes. You should use this signal if you want your file chooser to have a preview widget. Once you have installed a preview widget with , you should update it when this signal is emitted. You can use the properties or to get the name of the file to preview. Your widget may not be able to preview all kinds of files; your callback must set to inform the file chooser about whether the preview was generated successfully or not. TODO: insert example from gtkfilechooser-preview in gtk+ docs.
