Re: looking for example code

[Robert Caryl <bob fis-cal com>]

Here is one way I use it.  The caption depends on the state of a radio button, and the selected file name is inserted into a Gtk::Edit called filename.

void Fiscrypt::get_file(void)
{
    Glib::ustring str;
   
    if(rbs[0]->get_active())
        str = "Choose a file to encrypt";
    else
        str = "Choose a file to de-crypt";
   
    Gtk::FileChooserDialog dialog(str, Gtk::FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN);
   
    dialog.set_transient_for(*window);
   
      //Add response buttons the the dialog:
    dialog.add_button(Gtk::Stock::CANCEL, Gtk::RESPONSE_CANCEL);
    dialog.add_button(Gtk::Stock::OPEN, Gtk::RESPONSE_OK);
   
  //Add filters, so that only certain file types can be selected:
   
    if(rbs[0]->get_active())
    {
        Gtk::FileFilter filter_any;
        filter_any.set_name("Any files");
        filter_any.add_pattern("*");
        dialog.add_filter(filter_any);
        Gtk::FileFilter filter_text;
        filter_text.set_name("Encrypted files");
        filter_text.add_pattern("*.fcr");
        dialog.add_filter(filter_text);
    }
    else
    {
        Gtk::FileFilter filter_text;
        filter_text.set_name("Encrypted files");
        filter_text.add_pattern("*.fcr");
        dialog.add_filter(filter_text);
        Gtk::FileFilter filter_any;
        filter_any.set_name("Any files");
        filter_any.add_pattern("*");
        dialog.add_filter(filter_any);
    }
   
  //Show the dialog and wait for a user response:
    int result = dialog.run();
   
  //Handle the response:
    switch(result)
    {
        case(Gtk::RESPONSE_OK):
            file_name = dialog.get_filename();
            filename->set_text(file_name);
            filename->grab_focus();
            break;
        case(Gtk::RESPONSE_CANCEL):
            filename->grab_focus();
            break;
    }
}

Hope this helps
