[pygtk] Win32 file chooser

[Chris Lambacher]

I use MFC CreateFileDialog provided by win32ui in win32all.

Here is something that works on win2k and XP for sure:

filtertypes = [('All Font Files (*.ttf, *.otf, *.pfm)', 
                        ('*.ttf','*.otf', '*.pfm')), 
               ('True Type Font Files (*.ttf)', ('*.ttf',)),
               ('Open Type Font Files (*.otf)', ('*.otf',)),
               ('Type 1 Font files (*.pfm)', ('*.pfm',)), 
               ('All Files (*.*)', ('*',))]

filters = []
for fil_name, fil_exts in filtertypes:
    filter = '|'.join((fil_name, ';'.join(fil_exts)))
    filters.append(filter)

filter = '|'.join(filters+[''])
        
dlg = win32ui.CreateFileDialog( True, None, None, 
                                win32con.OFN_HIDEREADONLY | 
                                win32con.OFN_OVERWRITEPROMPT | 
                                win32con.OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST, filter)

dlg.SetOFNTitle('Select font file')

response = dlg.DoModal()
if response != win32con.IDOK:
    return

filename = dlg.GetPathName()
del dlg
