SDL_DialogFileCallback(3type)

SDL_DialogFileCallback3type

Callback used by file dialog functions.

Usage

#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

typedef void (SDLCALL *SDL_DialogFileCallback)(void *userdata, const char * const *filelist, int filter);

Header file

Defined in SDL3/SDL_dialog.h

Overview

The specific usage is described in each function.

If filelist is:

• NULL, an error occurred. Details can be obtained with

SDL_GetError ().

• A pointer to NULL, the user either didn't choose any file or canceled the
dialog.

• A pointer to non- NULL , the user chose one or more files. The argument
is a null-terminated array of pointers to UTF-8 encoded strings, each
containing a path.

The filelist argument should not be freed; it will automatically be freed when the callback returns.

The filter argument is the index of the filter that was selected, or -1 if no filter was selected or if the platform or method doesn't support fetching the selected filter.

In Android, the filelist are content:// URIs. They should be opened using SDL_IOFromFile () with appropriate modes. This applies both to open and save file dialog.

Function parameters

userdata

an app-provided pointer, for the callback's use.

the file(s) chosen by the user.
