Thanks for the reply Ben. FYI I'm writing a barebone audio player.
I want to use FileBrowser and not FileChooser. While I admittedly haven't tried
the latter I presume it is not meant to do what I want: have a directory
browser in the left side of a window and when an item (directory) is selected,
a Browser in the right side of the window shows a list of audio files that are
contained in the selected directory.
But, if I've misunderstood the roles of the two XxxBrowsers, then I'm
unavoidably led to wonder about the point of the FileBrowser; is the point to
fetch the index of selected item which is then passed to some
fltk::file_function() (I think, not sure, that I noticed some related functions
in the doc) to fetch the actual string(s) ?
