Tk::FBox - a file dialog

NAME

Tk::FBox - a file dialog

SYNOPSIS

    use Tk::FBox;
    $file = $mw->FBox(...)->Show;

DESCRIPTION

Tk::FBox is the dialog implementation behind the getOpenFile and getSaveFile 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'' (default) or ``save''.

-filter => $glob
To be documented...

-force => $bool
If true, then there will be no dialog if a file already exists.
