\section dialog_helper__file_filters Configure File Filters
File filters is a drop down list represented in file dialog which allow user filter files by their extensions.
It is beneficial to let user get the file which they want in a directory including massive different files.
<B>For file dialog picking a directory,</B> you can skip this step.
Because the file dialog picking directory does not have file filter drop down box.
Directory can not be filtered.
YYCC::DialogHelper::FileFilters takes responsibility for this feature:
\code
auto& filters = params.ConfigreFileTypes();
filters.Add(YYCC_U8("Microsoft Word (*.docx; *.doc)"), { YYCC_U8("*.docx"), YYCC_U8("*.doc") });
filters.Add(YYCC_U8("Microsoft Excel (*.xlsx; *.xls)"), { YYCC_U8("*.xlsx"), YYCC_U8("*.xls") });
filters.Add(YYCC_U8("Microsoft PowerPoint (*.pptx; *.ppt)"), { YYCC_U8("*.pptx"), YYCC_U8("*.ppt") });
filters.Add(YYCC_U8("Text File (*.txt)"), { YYCC_U8("*.txt") });
filters.Add(YYCC_U8("All Files (*.*)"), { YYCC_U8("*.*") });
params.SetDefaultFileTypeIndex(0u);
\endcode
\subsection dialog_helper__file_filters__setup File Filters
We don't need to initialize YYCC::DialogHelper::FileFilters by ourselves.
Oppositely, we fetch it from YYCC::DialogHelper::FileDialog instance by calling YYCC::DialogHelper::FileDialog::ConfigreFileTypes.
After fetching, we can call YYCC::DialogHelper::FileFilters::Add to add a filter pair for file filters.
The first argument is the display text which user will see in file filter drop down box.
The second argument is a \c std::initializer_list.
Every items are Windows used wildcard string instructing which file should be shown in file dialog.
It is okey to use multiple wildcard string in list.
This is suit for those file types involving multiple file extensions, such as the old and new file types of Microsoft Office as we illustracted.
Empty list not allowed
YYCC::DialogHelper::FileFilters::Add also will return a bool to indicate the success of this adding.
It should at least has one file filter in file dialog.
I don't know the consequence if you don't provide any file filter.
\subsection dialog_helper__file_filters__default_filter Default File Type
YYCC::DialogHelper::FileDialog::SetDefaultFileTypeIndex will set the default selected file filter of this dialog.
It accepts an index pointing to the file filter which you want to show in default for this file dialog.
The index of file filters is the order where you call YYCC::DialogHelper::FileFilters::Add above.
If you pass \c NULL to it or skip calling this function, the first one will be default.
\section dialog_helper__result Create Dialog and Get Result
Finally, we can call file dialog functions by we initialized YYCC::DialogHelper::FileDialog
\code
YYCC::yycc_u8string single_selection;
std::vector<YYCC::yycc_u8string> multiple_selection;
YYCC::DialogHelper::OpenFileDialog(params, single_selection);
YYCC::DialogHelper::OpenMultipleFileDialog(params, multiple_selection);
YYCC::DialogHelper::SaveFileDialog(params, single_selection);
YYCC::DialogHelper::OpenFolderDialog(params, single_selection);
\endcode
There are 4 file dialogs you can choose:
\li YYCC::DialogHelper::OpenFileDialog: Open single file
\li YYCC::DialogHelper::OpenMultipleFileDialog: Open multiple files
\li YYCC::DialogHelper::SaveFileDialog: Save single file
\li YYCC::DialogHelper::OpenFolderDialog: Open single directory
\subsection dialog_helper__result__arguments Arguments
Among these 4 functions, the first argument always is the reference to YYCC::DialogHelper::FileDialog.
Function will use it to decide what should be shown in this file dialog.
The second argument always is the reference to the container receiving the result.
For single selection, the return type is \c yycc_u8string.
For multiple selection, the return type is a list of strings: \c std::vector<yycc_u8string>.
\subsection dialog_helper__result__return_value Return Value
Please note among these 4 functions will return a bool as its return value to indicate the success of function.
If they return false, it means that the execution of functions are failed or user click Cancel button.
In this case, there is no guaranteen to the content of second argument (the real return value).
\section dialog_helper__notes Notes
You may notice there are various classes which we never introduce.
Because they are intermediate classes and should not be used by programmer.
For example:
\li YYCC::DialogHelper::WinFileDialog: The converted YYCC::DialogHelper::FileDialog passed to Windows.
\li YYCC::DialogHelper::WinFileFilters: Same as YYCC::DialogHelper::WinFileDialog. It will be passed to Windows functions.
\li etc...

\li YYCC::EncodingHelper::CharToChar: Convert string between 2 different code pages. It's a shortcut of calling CharToWchar and WcharToChar successively.
\li YYCC::EncodingHelper::WcharToUTF8: Convert \c wchar_t string to UTF8 string.
\li YYCC::EncodingHelper::UTF8ToWchar: The reversed convertion of WcharToUTF8.
\li YYCC::EncodingHelper::CharToUTF8: Convert code page specified string to UTF8 string.
\li YYCC::EncodingHelper::UTF8ToChar: The reversed convertion of CharToUTF8.
Code Page is a Windows concept.
