Fixes problem with doxygen docs showing incorrect #include reference
at top of docs that was confusing users into #include'ing the wrong file. Problem described here: http://fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.development+v:11617 git-svn-id: file:///fltk/svn/fltk/branches/branch-1.3@8377 ea41ed52-d2ee-0310-a9c1-e6b18d33e121

+/**
+ \class Fl_Native_File_Chooser
+
+ This class lets an FLTK application easily and consistently access
+ the operating system's native file chooser. Some operating systems
+ have very complex and specific file choosers that many users want
+ access to specifically, instead of FLTK's default file chooser(s).
+
+ In cases where there is no native file browser, FLTK's own file browser
+ is used instead.
+
+ To use this widget correctly, use the following include in your code:
+ \code
+ #include <FL/Fl_Native_File_Chooser.H>
+ \endcode
+ Do not include the other Fl_Native_File_Choser_XXX.H files in your code;
+ those are platform specific files that will be included automatically
+ depending on your build platform.
+
+ The following example shows how to pick a single file:
+ \code
+ // Create and post the local native file chooser
+ #include <FL/Fl_Native_File_Chooser.H>
+ [..]
+ Fl_Native_File_Chooser fnfc;
+ fnfc.title("Pick a file");
+ fnfc.type(Fl_Native_File_Chooser::BROWSE_FILE);
+ fnfc.filter("Text\t*.txt\n"
+ "C Files\t*.{cxx,h,c}");
+ fnfc.directory("/var/tmp"); // default directory to use
+ // Show native chooser
+ switch ( fnfc.show() ) {
+ case -1: printf("ERROR: %s\n", fnfc.errmsg()); break; // ERROR
+ case 1: printf("CANCEL\n"); break; // CANCEL
+ default: printf("PICKED: %s\n", fnfc.filename()); break; // FILE CHOSEN
+ }
+ \endcode
+
+ <B>Platform Specific Caveats</B>
+
+ - Under X windows, it's best if you call Fl_File_Icon::load_system_icons()
+ at the start of main(), to enable the nicer looking file browser widgets.
+ Use the static public attributes of class Fl_File_Chooser to localize
+ the browser.
+ - Some operating systems support certain OS specific options; see
+ Fl_Native_File_Chooser::options() for a list.
