## Detailed Description

A filter for selecting a file subset.

A Gtk::FileFilter can be used to restrict the files being shown in a Gtk::FileChooser. Files can be filtered based on their name (with add_pattern()), on their MIME type (with add_mime_type()), or by a custom filter function (with add_custom()).

Filtering by MIME types handles aliasing and subclassing of MIME types; e.g. a filter for `text/plain` also matches a file with MIME type `application/rtf`, since `application/rtf` is a subclass of `text/plain`. Note that Gtk::FileFilter allows wildcards for the subtype of a MIME type, so you can e.g. filter for `image/ *`.

Filters are used by adding them to a Gtk::FileChooser. See Gtk::FileChooser::add_filter().

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

## ◆ FileFilter() [1/2]

Gtk::FileFilter::FileFilter | ( | FileFilter && | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ ~FileFilter()

Gtk::FileFilter::~FileFilter | ( |  | ) |
| overridenoexcept

## ◆ FileFilter() [2/2]

Gtk::FileFilter::FileFilter | ( |  | ) |
| protected

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ add_mime_type()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_mime_type | ( | const Glib::ustring & | mime_type | ) |

Adds a rule allowing a given mime type to filter.

Parameters

  mime_type | Name of a MIME type.

## ◆ add_pattern()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_pattern | ( | const Glib::ustring & | pattern | ) |

Adds a rule allowing a shell style glob to a filter.

Note that it depends on the platform whether pattern matching ignores case or not. On Windows, it does, on other platforms, it doesn't.

Parameters

  pattern | A shell style glob.

## ◆ add_pixbuf_formats()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_pixbuf_formats | ( |  | ) |

Adds a rule allowing image files in the formats supported by GdkPixbuf.

This is equivalent to calling add_mime_type() for all the supported mime types.

## ◆ add_suffix()

void Gtk::FileFilter::add_suffix | ( | const std::string & | suffix | ) |

Adds a suffix match rule to a filter.

This is similar to adding a match for the pattern "*. @a suffix".

In contrast to pattern matches, suffix matches are always case-insensitive.

Since gtkmm 4.4

Parameters

  suffix | Filename suffix to match.

## ◆ create()

static Glib::RefPtr< FileFilter > Gtk::FileFilter::create | ( |  | ) |
| static

## ◆ get_name()

Glib::ustring Gtk::FileFilter::get_name | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the human-readable name for the filter.

See set_name().

Returns
  The human-readable name of the filter.

## ◆ get_type()

static GType Gtk::FileFilter::get_type | ( |  | ) |
| static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

## ◆ gobj() [1/2]

GtkFileFilter * Gtk::FileFilter::gobj | ( |  | ) |
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GtkFileFilter * Gtk::FileFilter::gobj | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

## ◆ gobj_copy()

GtkFileFilter * Gtk::FileFilter::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

## ◆ operator=()

FileFilter & Gtk::FileFilter::operator= | ( | FileFilter && | src | ) |
| noexcept

## ◆ property_name() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< Glib::ustring > Gtk::FileFilter::property_name | ( |  | ) |

The human-readable name of the filter.

This is the string that will be displayed in the file chooser user interface if there is a selectable list of filters.

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ property_name() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gtk::FileFilter::property_name | ( |  | ) | const

The human-readable name of the filter.

This is the string that will be displayed in the file chooser user interface if there is a selectable list of filters.

Default value: ""

Returns
  A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

## ◆ set_name()

void Gtk::FileFilter::set_name | ( | const Glib::ustring & | name | ) |

Sets a human-readable name of the filter.

This is the string that will be displayed in the file chooser if there is a selectable list of filters.

Parameters

  name | The human-readable-name for the filter, or `nullptr` to remove any existing name.

## Friends And Related Symbol Documentation

## ◆ wrap()

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::FileFilter > wrap | ( | GtkFileFilter * | object,
|  | bool | take_copy = false )
| related

A Glib::wrap() method for this object.

Parameters

  object | The C instance.
  take_copy | False if the result should take ownership of the C instance. True if it should take a new copy or ref.

Returns
  A C++ instance that wraps this C instance.
