pub struct FileChooserButton { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

The FileChooserButton is a widget that lets the user select a file. It implements the FileChooser interface. Visually, it is a file name with a button to bring up a FileChooserDialog. The user can then use that dialog to change the file associated with that button. This widget does not support setting the property::FileChooser::select-multiple property to true.

Create a button to let the user select a file in /etc

⚠️ The following code is in C ⚠️

{
  GtkWidget *button;

  button = gtk_file_chooser_button_new (_("Select a file"),
                                        GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN);
  gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (button),
                                       "/etc");
}

The FileChooserButton supports the GtkFileChooserActions FileChooserAction::Open and FileChooserAction::SelectFolder.

The FileChooserButton will ellipsize the label, and will thus request little horizontal space. To give the button more space, you should call WidgetExt::preferred_size(), FileChooserButtonExt::set_width_chars(), or pack the button in such a way that other interface elements give space to the widget.

CSS nodes

GtkFileChooserButton has a CSS node with name “filechooserbutton”, containing a subnode for the internal button with name “button” and style class “.file”.

Implementations

Creates a new file-selecting button widget.

title

the title of the browse dialog.

action

the open mode for the widget.

Returns

a new button widget.

Creates a FileChooserButton widget which uses dialog as its file-picking window.

Note that dialog must be a Dialog (or subclass) which implements the FileChooser interface and must not have DialogFlags::DESTROY_WITH_PARENT set.

Also note that the dialog needs to have its confirmative button added with response ResponseType::Accept or ResponseType::Ok in order for the button to take over the file selected in the dialog.

dialog

the widget to use as dialog

Returns

a new button widget.

Creates a new builder-pattern struct instance to construct FileChooserButton objects.

This method returns an instance of FileChooserButtonBuilder which can be used to create FileChooserButton objects.
