NAME
Tk::FBox - a file dialog
SYNOPSIS
use Tk::FBox; $file = $mw->FBox(...)->Show;
DESCRIPTION
"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: -sortcmd => sub { $_[0] cmp $_[1] } Specified a callback for changing the sorting of the icons in the "IconList" widget. By default, perl's "cmp" operator will be used. 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 => $type 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. -filter => $glob A file glob to restrict displayed files. This is only active if no -filetypes are defined. -force => $bool If true, then there will be no dialog if a file already exists.
