<a name="GtkFileChooserDialog.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p><a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html" title="GtkFileChooserDialog"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a> is a dialog box suitable for use with
“File/Open” or “File/Save as” commands. This widget works by
putting a <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserWidget.html" title="GtkFileChooserWidget"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserWidget</span></a> inside a <a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html" title="GtkDialog"><span class="type">GtkDialog</span></a>. It exposes
the <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> interface, so you can use all of the
<a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a> functions on the file chooser dialog as well as
those for <a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html" title="GtkDialog"><span class="type">GtkDialog</span></a>.</p>
<p>Note that <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html" title="GtkFileChooserDialog"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a> does not have any methods of its
own. Instead, you should use the functions that work on a
<a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html" title="GtkFileChooser"><span class="type">GtkFileChooser</span></a>.</p>
<p>If you want to integrate well with the platform you should use the
<span class="type">GtkFileChooserNative</span> API, which will use a platform-specific
dialog if available and fall back to GtkFileChooserDialog
otherwise.</p>

<a name="gtkfilechooserdialog-setting-up"></a><h4>Setting up a file chooser dialog</h4>
<p>There are various cases in which you may need to use a <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html" title="GtkFileChooserDialog"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a>:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p>To select a file for opening. Use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#GTK-FILE-CHOOSER-ACTION-OPEN:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN</span></a>.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>To save a file for the first time. Use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#GTK-FILE-CHOOSER-ACTION-SAVE:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE</span></a>,
and suggest a name such as “Untitled” with <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-current-name" title="gtk_file_chooser_set_current_name ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_current_name()</code></a>.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>To save a file under a different name. Use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#GTK-FILE-CHOOSER-ACTION-SAVE:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SAVE</span></a>,
and set the existing filename with <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-filename" title="gtk_file_chooser_set_filename ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_filename()</code></a>.</p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p>To choose a folder instead of a file. Use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#GTK-FILE-CHOOSER-ACTION-SELECT-FOLDER:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER</span></a>.</p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>Note that old versions of the file chooser’s documentation suggested
using <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-current-folder" title="gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder()</code></a> in various
situations, with the intention of letting the application
suggest a reasonable default folder. This is no longer
considered to be a good policy, as now the file chooser is
able to make good suggestions on its own. In general, you
should only cause the file chooser to show a specific folder
when it is appropriate to use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooser.html#gtk-file-chooser-set-filename" title="gtk_file_chooser_set_filename ()"><code class="function">gtk_file_chooser_set_filename()</code></a>,
i.e. when you are doing a Save As command and you already
have a file saved somewhere.</p>

<a name="gtkfilechooserdialog-responses"></a><h4>Response Codes</h4>
<p><a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html" title="GtkFileChooserDialog"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a> inherits from <a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html" title="GtkDialog"><span class="type">GtkDialog</span></a>, so buttons that

<p>This will create buttons for “Cancel” and “Open” that use stock
response identifiers from <a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html#GtkResponseType" title="enum GtkResponseType"><span class="type">GtkResponseType</span></a>. For most dialog
boxes you can use your own custom response codes rather than the
ones in <a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html#GtkResponseType" title="enum GtkResponseType"><span class="type">GtkResponseType</span></a>, but <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html" title="GtkFileChooserDialog"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a> assumes that
its “accept”-type action, e.g. an “Open” or “Save” button,
will have one of the following response codes:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; ">
<li class="listitem"><p><a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html#GTK-RESPONSE-ACCEPT:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT</span></a></p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html#GTK-RESPONSE-OK:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_RESPONSE_OK</span></a></p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html#GTK-RESPONSE-YES:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_RESPONSE_YES</span></a></p></li>
<li class="listitem"><p><a class="link" href="GtkDialog.html#GTK-RESPONSE-APPLY:CAPS"><span class="type">GTK_RESPONSE_APPLY</span></a></p></li>
</ul></div>
<p>This is because <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html" title="GtkFileChooserDialog"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a> must intercept responses
and switch to folders if appropriate, rather than letting the
dialog terminate — the implementation uses these known
response codes to know which responses can be blocked if
appropriate.</p>
<p>To summarize, make sure you use a
<a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html#gtkfilechooserdialog-responses" title="Response Codes">stock response code</a>
when you use <a class="link" href="GtkFileChooserDialog.html" title="GtkFileChooserDialog"><span class="type">GtkFileChooserDialog</span></a> to ensure proper operation.</p>
