This FileSelectionDialog provides a wrapper around the standard GtkFileSelection class in PHP-GTK2, to make it easier to use.

Note : you can check a simpler introductory example to GtkFileSelection before delving into this class.

Main methods :

• hide()
• show()
• get_selection() : return file section if OK pressed, return false if cancel button is pressed. (see usage below)

Quick overview (usage)

You can see how it easy to get a file ; all you need to do is to create a FileSelectionDialog instance and call the get_selection() method.

Like layout tables in HTML pages, the GtkTable widget can be used to display tables or matrix, far more easily than GtkTreeView and associated classes.

This example shows how to use a layout table and fill it with numerous instances of GtkLabel, of varying colours.

This examples shows how to discover on your own what the methods for a given widget are, from the actual current implementation, instead of relying on documentation. You can obviously use it to examine other classes, but this sample code shows the methods of classes Gtk and GtkWindow.

In addition, this example shows how to line up vertically by the top the contents of panes in a GtkHBox, just like vertical-align does in CSS. In this example, we use it to align the two lists because they are of very different lengths.

This enables a user to activate the menu without using the mouse or combining keys, just by pressing ALT. This can be important for accessibility.

Firstly, in a oop style, we create an App class. In that class there are 2 methods, one for loading .glade files (your GUI), and one for getting widgets created .

This snippet loads all the XPM pictures it can find in its directory, and displays them horizontally in a scrolled window, as thumbnails.
