###
Exports

####
new() -> wxFilePickerCtrl()

####
new(Parent, Id) -> wxFilePickerCtrl()

### Types

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()

####
new(Parent, Id, Options :: [Option]) -> wxFilePickerCtrl()

### Types

Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()
Option =
{path, unicode:chardata()} |
{message, unicode:chardata()} |
{wildcard, unicode:chardata()} |
{pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
{size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
{style, integer()} |
{validator, wx:wx_object()}

Initializes the object and calls create/4 with all the parameters.

####
create(This, Parent, Id) -> boolean()

### Types

This = wxFilePickerCtrl()
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()

####
create(This, Parent, Id, Options :: [Option]) -> boolean()

### Types

This = wxFilePickerCtrl()
Parent = wxWindow:wxWindow()
Id = integer()
Option =
{path, unicode:chardata()} |
{message, unicode:chardata()} |
{wildcard, unicode:chardata()} |
{pos, {X :: integer(), Y :: integer()}} |
{size, {W :: integer(), H :: integer()}} |
{style, integer()} |
{validator, wx:wx_object()}

Creates this widget with the given parameters.

Return: true if the control was successfully created or false if creation failed.

####
getPath(This) -> unicode:charlist()

### Types

This = wxFilePickerCtrl()

Returns the absolute path of the currently selected file.

####
setPath(This, Filename) -> ok

### Types

This = wxFilePickerCtrl()
Filename = unicode:chardata()

Sets the absolute path of the currently selected file.

If the control uses wxFLP_FILE_MUST_EXIST and does not use wxFLP_USE_TEXTCTRL style, the filename must be a name of an existing file and will be simply ignored by the native wxGTK implementation if this is not the case (the generic implementation used under the other platforms accepts even invalid file names currently, but this is subject to change in the future, don't rely on being able to use non-existent paths with it).

####
destroy(This :: wxFilePickerCtrl()) -> ok

Destroys the object.
