Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ WildcardFileFilter()

juce::WildcardFileFilter::WildcardFileFilter	(	const String &	fileWildcardPatterns,
		const String &	directoryWildcardPatterns,
		const String &	filterDescription
	)

Creates a wildcard filter for one or more patterns.

The wildcardPatterns parameter is a comma or semicolon-delimited set of patterns, e.g. "*.wav;*.aiff" would look for files ending in either .wav or .aiff.

Passing an empty string as a pattern will fail to match anything, so by leaving either the file or directory pattern parameter empty means you can control whether files or directories are found.

The description is a name to show the user in a list of possible patterns, so for the wav/aiff example, your description might be "audio files".
