FileBrowseButton wxMULTIPLE support

Heya Folks,

The FileBrowseButton appears to ignore all but the last file selected when you set the fileMode to wxMULTIPLE.

Did i miss something, or is my observation correct?

For now, I've hacked the OnBrowse () method as follows to get all files into the textControl.

Use GetPaths() instead of GetPath(). Then you get a list of zero or more
paths that you can iterate through.

Can this for loop be replaced with this?

  path = ", ".join(paths)

Sheesh, I was still waking up. Somebody should lock my computer in the
morning. Sorry! :slight_smile:
