FBox(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation FBox(3pm)NAMETk::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.
