NAME

6       Tk::FBox - a file dialog
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use Tk::FBox;
10           $file = $mw->FBox(...)->Show;
11

DESCRIPTION

13       "Tk::FBox" is the dialog implementation behind the "getOpenFile",
14       "getSaveFile", and "chooseDirectory" method calls in the Unix/X11
15       world. As such, it supports all options for these methods and
16       additionally:
17
18       -sortcmd => sub { $_[0] cmp $_[1] }
19           Specified a callback for changing the sorting of the icons in the
20           "IconList" widget. By default, perl's "cmp" operator will be used.
21
22           From the source code:
23
24             # Using -sortcmd is really strange :-(
25             # $top->getOpenFile(-sortcmd => sub { package Tk::FBox; uc $b cmp uc $a});
26             # or, un-perlish, but useable (now activated in code):
27             # $top->getOpenFile(-sortcmd => sub { uc $_[1] cmp uc $_[0]});
28
29           This is an experimental option!
30
31       -type => $type
32           Type should be "open" for choosing existing files to open
33           (default), "save" for choosing existing or non-existing files to
34           save, or "dir" for choosing directories.
35
36       -filter => $glob
37           A file glob to restrict displayed files. This is only active if no
38           -filetypes are defined.
39
40       -force => $bool
41           If true, then there will be no dialog if a file already exists.
