Re: File Chooser Dialog: display only files with chosen extensions

[vijayasarathy setsindia net]

Hey friend,

Thanks for that suggestion ...I did try adding file filter and associating
the filter with the file dialog.


Here is the code I tried:

**********************************START CODE CHUNK *************************

GtkFileFilter *filefilter;//For filtering only exe files into
GtkWidget *wdgt_filechooser;//pointer for creating filechooser dialog box

//Create and configure filter
filefilter = gtk_file_filter_new();

gtk_file_filter_set_name(filefilter,(const gchar *)"exe filter");
//Add mime type "exe" to created filter.
gtk_file_filter_add_pattern(filefilter,(const gchar
*)"application/octet-stream");


        //create file chooser dialog box
        wdgt_filechooser = create_ui_filechooser();

        //Add filter to the dialog box
        gtk_file_chooser_add_filter((GtkFileChooser *)wdgt_filechooser,filefilter);
        //Show file chooser dialog box
        gtk_widget_show(wdgt_filechooser);

*****************************END CODE CHUNK ********************************

This just didnt work out ...Only sub-folders in respective folders are
being showed ...nothing else !!


Help pls...
