Tk::FBox - a file dialog
use Tk::FBox; $file = $mw->FBox(...)->Show;
Tk::FBox is the dialog implementation behind the getOpenFile, getSaveFile, and chooseDirectory method calls in the Unix/X11 world. As such, it supports all options for these methods and additionally:
Tk::FBox
getOpenFile
getSaveFile
chooseDirectory
Specified a callback for changing the sorting of the icons in the IconList widget. By default, perl's cmp operator will be used.
IconList
cmp
From the source code:
# Using -sortcmd is really strange :-( # $top->getOpenFile(-sortcmd => sub { package Tk::FBox; uc $b cmp uc $a}); # or, un-perlish, but useable (now activated in code): # $top->getOpenFile(-sortcmd => sub { uc $_[1] cmp uc $_[0]});
This is an experimental option!
Type should be "open" for choosing existing files to open (default), "save" for choosing existing or non-existing files to save, or "dir" for choosing directories.
A file glob to restrict displayed files. This is only active if no -filetypes are defined.
If true, then there will be no dialog if a file already exists.
