Re: gtk FilechooserWidget

[Axel FILMORE <axel filmore gmail com>]

There's a gtk_file_chooser_get_filenames () function and a 
gtk_file_chooser_get_files () function
<http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-files>http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-filenames
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-get-files

Is it what you are looking for ?

Or maybe you need to handle the selection-changed signal :
http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/GtkFileChooser.html#GtkFileChooser-selection-changed

Hope this helps.

Regards.
