@class wxFileDialog
This class represents the file chooser dialog.
The path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname.
If path is wxEmptyString, the current directory will be used.
If filename is wxEmptyString, 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.
@remarks
All implementations of the wxFileDialog provide 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.
The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a description
for each, such as:
@code
"BMP and GIF files (*.bmp;*.gif)|*.bmp;*.gif|PNG files (*.png)|*.png"
@endcode
It must be noted that wildcard support in the native Motif file dialog is quite
limited: only one alternative is supported, and it is displayed without the
descriptive test; "BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp" is displayed as "*.bmp", and both
"BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif" and "Image files|*.bmp;*.gif"
are errors.
@beginStyleTable
@style{wxFD_DEFAULT_STYLE}
Equivalent to wxFD_OPEN.
@style{wxFD_OPEN}
This is an open dialog; usually this means that the default
button's label of the dialog is "Open". Cannot be combined with wxFD_SAVE.
@style{wxFD_SAVE}
This is a save dialog; usually this means that the default button's
label of the dialog is "Save". Cannot be combined with wxFD_OPEN.
@style{wxFD_OVERWRITE_PROMPT}
For save dialog only: prompt for a confirmation if a file will be
overwritten.
@style{wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST}
For open dialog only: the user may only select files that actually exist.
@style{wxFD_MULTIPLE}
For open dialog only: allows selecting multiple files.
@style{wxFD_CHANGE_DIR}
Change the current working directory to the directory where the
file(s) chosen by the user are.
@style{wxFD_PREVIEW}
Show the preview of the selected files (currently only supported by
wxGTK).

/**
Pops up a file selector box. In Windows, this is the common file selector
dialog. In X, this is a file selector box with the same functionality. The
path and filename are distinct elements of a full file pathname. If path
is empty, the current directory will be used. If filename is empty, 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 or wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST.
@note wxFD_MULTIPLE can only be used with wxFileDialog and not here since
this function only returns a single file name.
Both the Unix 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.
The wildcard may be a specification for multiple types of file with a
description for each, such as:
@code
"BMP files (*.bmp)|*.bmp|GIF files (*.gif)|*.gif"
@endcode
The application must check for an empty return value (the user pressed
Cancel). For example:
@code
wxString filename = wxFileSelector("Choose a file to open");
if ( !filename.empty() )
{
// work with the file
...
}
//else: cancelled by user
@endcode
@header{wx/filedlg.h}
