No, it does not use regex. If it did, the pattern would have been ".*\.dat" instead of "*.dat".
The description,
https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm/stable/classGtk_1_1FileFilter.html#a9b49e4a03afffc2806d17abf33b26cad
or, if you use gtkmm 2
https://developer.gnome.org/gtkmm/2.24/classGtk_1_1FileFilter.html#a9b49e4a03afffc2806d17abf33b26cad
says "Adds a rule allowing a shell style glob to a filter."

This works pretty well :-) Thanks!!

I thought it just works with a custom filter, but this simple pattern (does it 
use regex?) does it.

Tak

Hi,

I recently started with gtkmm and I have to admit that the documentation is 
pretty good. However, sometimes it lacks some details or examples.

Maybe I find some help in this gtkmm mailing list.

I am using the Gtk::FileFilter with mimetypes. My aim is to allow only 
csv/txt/dat files to be shown in the filebrowser. Unfortunatelly,
only csv and txt file extensions are covered with a mimetype definition. The 
documentation says there is a function called add_custom()
but I really cannot imagine how it should be applied. Could you please help 
with a minimal example how to set a custom filter?

May current code looks like this:

(Browser is a Gtk::FileChooserWidget)

Gtk::FileFilter * filter = new Gtk::FileFilter ;
filter->set_name( "CSV Files" ) ;
filter->add_mime_type( "text/csv" ) ;
UI_DATA->Browser->set_filter( *filter ) ;


Many thanks,

/M

Do you really need a custom filter? Can't you use
   filter->add_pattern("*.dat");
