SYNOPSIS
	   use Curses::UI;
	   my $cui = new Curses::UI;
	   my $win = $cui->add('window_id', 'Window');

	   # The hard way.
	   # -------------
	   my $dialog = $win->add(
	       'mydialog', 'Dialog::Filebrowser'
	   );
	   $dialog->focus;
	   my $file = $dialog->get();
	   $win->delete('mydialog');

	   # The easy way (see Curses::UI documentation).
	   # --------------------------------------------
	   $file = $cui->filebrowser();
	   $file = $cui->loadfilebrowser();
	   $file = $cui->savefilebrowser();

DESCRIPTION
       Curses::UI::Dialog::Filebrowser is a filebrowser dialog.	 This type of
       dialog can be used to select a file, anywhere on the filesystem.

       See exampes/demo-Curses::UI::Dialog::Filebrowser in the distribution
       for a short demo.

OPTIONS
       ·   -title < TEXT >

	   Set the title of the dialog window to TEXT.

       ·   -path < PATH >

	   Set the path to start with to PATH. If this path does not exist,
	   the filebrowser will start in the rootdirectory.

       ·   -file < FILE >

	   Set the filename to start with to FILE.

       ·   -editfilename < BOOLEAN >

	   If BOOLEAN has a true value, the user may edit the filename. This
	   is for example useful for a filebrowser that is used to select a
	   filename to save to. By default this option is set to false.

       ·   -show_hidden < BOOLEAN >

	   If BOOLEAN has a true value, hidden files (the filename starts with
	   a dot) will also be shown. By default this option is set to false.

       ·   -mask < ARRAYREF >

	   If -mask is defined, a filemask popupbox will be added to the
	   filebrowser dialog window. This popupbox will filter the list of
	   files that is displayed, using a regular expression (case
	   insensitive). The ARRAYREF contains a list of array references.
	   Each array reference has two elements: a regexp and a description.
	   Here's an example -mask:

	       my $mask = [
		   [ '.',	 'All files (*)'       ],
		   [ '\.txt$',	 'Text files (*.txt)'  ]
		   [ 'howto',	 'HOWTO documentation' ],
		   [ 'core',	 'Core files'	       ],
	       ];

       ·   -mask_selected < INDEX >

	   Normally the first mask in the list of masks will be made active
	   upon creation of the filebrowser. If you want another mask to be
	   active, use the -mask_selected option. Set this value to the index
	   of the mask you want to be active. For example: if you would want
	   the "howto" mask in the above example to be active, you would use
	   the value 2 for -mask_selected.

METHODS
       ·   new ( OPTIONS )

       ·   layout ( )

       ·   draw ( BOOLEAN )

       ·   focus ( )

	   These are standard methods. See Curses::UI::Container for an
	   explanation of these.

       ·   get ( )

	   This method will return the complete path to the file that was
	   selected using the filebrowser. If no file was selected, this
	   method will return an undefined value.

SPECIAL BINDINGS
       ·   escape

	   This will invoke the cancel button, so the filebrowser widget
	   returns without selecting any file.

       ·   ~

	   If the directory- or filelistbox of the dialog window has the focus
	   and the tilde (~) button is pressed, the filebrowser will chdir to
	   the homedirectory of the current user.
