The generic implementation is a button which brings up a \helpref{wxFileDialog}{wxfiledialog} when clicked. Native implementation may differ but this is usually a (small) widget which give access to the file-chooser dialog. It is only available if \texttt{wxUSE\_FILEPICKERCTRL} is set to $1$ (the default). \wxheading{Derived from} \helpref{wxPickerBase}{wxpickerbase}\\ \helpref{wxControl}{wxcontrol}\\ \helpref{wxWindow}{wxwindow}\\ \helpref{wxEvtHandler}{wxevthandler}\\ \helpref{wxObject}{wxobject} \wxheading{Include files} \wxheading{Window styles} \twocolwidtha{5cm}% \begin{twocollist}\itemsep=0pt \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFLP\_DEFAULT\_STYLE}}{The default style: includes wxFLP\_OPEN | wxFLP\_FILE\_MUST\_EXIST and, under wxMSW only, wxFLP\_USE\_TEXTCTRL.} \twocolitem{\windowstyle{wxFLP\_USE\_TEXTCTRL}}{Creates a text control to the left of the picker button which is completely managed by the \helpref{wxFilePickerCtrl}{wxfilepickerctrl} and which can be used by the user to specify a path (see \helpref{SetPath}{wxfilepickerctrlsetpath}).
