List of all members.

## Detailed Description

A button to launch a file chooser dialog.

This widget lets the user select a file. It implements the FileChooser interface. Visually, it is a file name with a button to bring up a FileChooserDialog. The user can then use that dialog to change the file associated with that button. This widget does not support setting the "select_multiple" property to true.

The FileChooserButton supports the FileChooserActions FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN and FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER.

The FileChooserButton will ellipsize the label, and will thus request little horizontal space. To give the button more space, you should call size_request(), set_width_chars(), or pack the button in such a way that other interface elements give space to the widget.
