Is it possible to add additional controls to a file selection dialog? If not, what other ways are there to present load/save options to the user?

In wx 2.9 there is wxFileDialog::SetExtraControlCreator(), which allows adding additional controls at least on some platforms.

As some kind of a workaround in wx 2.8, one could use the wildcard/filter field and list the same file type multiple times with different description, for example "Plain text, short format", "Plain text, very verbose format".

  • I totally forgot about this question... I actually ended up doing just what you've described. I'll accept your answer and give you +1. – Nathan Osman Feb 06 '11 at 19:53
