I think you are looking for GtkFileSelection widget. Here is the sample code to select a file. ........... call back function ......... void file_ok_sel( GtkWidget *w, GtkFileSelection *fs ) { g_print ("%s\n", gtk_file_selection_get_filename (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (fs))); } ........... part of main ....... GtkWidget *filew; filew = gtk_file_selection_new ("File selection"); gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (GTK_FILE_SELECTION (filew)->ok_button), "clicked", (GtkSignalFunc) file_ok_sel, filew ); .................................
