## GtkFileChooserWidget

GtkFileChooserWidget — File chooser widget that can be embedded in other widgets.

## Synopsis

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

    GtkWidget*  gtk_file_chooser_widget_new     (GtkFileChooserAction action);

## Description

GtkFileChooserWidget is a widget suitable for selecting files. It is the main building block of a GtkFileChooserDialog. Most applications will only need to use the latter; you can use GtkFileChooserWidget as part of a larger window if you have special needs.

Note that GtkFileChooserWidget does not have any methods of its own. Instead, you should use the functions that work on a GtkFileChooser.
