## Implemented Interfaces

GtkFileChooserWidget implements AtkImplementorIface, GtkBuildable, GtkOrientable, GtkFileChooser and GtkFileChooserEmbed.

## Description

GtkFileChooserWidget is a widget suitable for selecting files. It is the main building block of a GtkFileChooserDialog. Most applications will only need to use the latter; you can use GtkFileChooserWidget as part of a larger window if you have special needs.

Note that GtkFileChooserWidget does not have any methods of its own. Instead, you should use the functions that work on a GtkFileChooser.
