<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkFileChooser
<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
File chooser interface used by #GtkFileChooserWidget and #GtkFileChooserDialog.
<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
#GtkFileChooser is an interface that can be implemented by file
selection widgets. In GTK+, the main objects that implement
this interface are #GtkFileChooserWidget and
#GtkFileChooserDialog. You do not need to write an object that
implements the #GtkFileChooser interface unless you are trying
to adapt an existing file selector to expose a standard
programming interface.
</para>
<refsect2 id="gtkfilechooser-preview">
<title>Adding a Preview Widget</title>
<para>
You can add a custom preview widget to a file chooser and then
get notification about when the preview needs to be updated.
To install a preview widget, use
gtk_file_chooser_set_preview_widget(). Then, connect to the
#GtkFileChooser::update-preview signal to get notified when
you need to update the contents of the preview.
</para>
<para>
Your callback should use
gtk_file_chooser_get_preview_filename() to see what needs
previewing. Once you have generated the preview for the
corresponding file, you must call
gtk_file_chooser_set_preview_widget_active() with a boolean
flag that indicates whether your callback could successfully
generate a preview.

<title>Adding Extra Widgets</title>
<para>
You can add extra widgets to a file chooser to provide options
that are not present in the default design. For example, you
can add a toggle button to give the user the option to open a
file in read-only mode. You can use
gtk_file_chooser_set_extra_widget() to insert additional
widgets in a file chooser.
</para>

<title>Sample Usage</title>
<programlisting>
{
GtkWidget *toggle;
...
toggle = gtk_check_button_new_with_label ("Open file read-only");
gtk_widget_show (toggle);
gtk_file_chooser_set_extra_widget (my_file_chooser, toggle);
}
</programlisting>
</example>
<note>
<para>
If you want to set more than one extra widget in the file
chooser, you can a container such as a GtkVBox or a GtkTable
and include your widgets in it. Then, set the container as
the whole extra widget.
