This is an entry made to be filled with or display a file system path string.
Besides the entry itself, the widget has a
FileselectorButton
on its side,
which will raise an internal
Fileselector
, when clicked, for path
selection aided by file system navigation.
This file selector may appear in an Elementary window or in an inner window. When a file is chosen from it, the (inner) window is closed and the selected file’s path string is exposed both as a smart event and as the new text on the entry.
This widget encapsulates operations on its internal file selector on its own API. There is less control over its file selector than that one would have instantiating one directly.

This widget supports the fileselector interface.
If you wish to control the fileselector part using these functions,
inherit both the widget class and the
Fileselector
class
using multiple inheritance, for example:
class CustomFileselectorButton(Fileselector, FileselectorButton):
def __init__(self, canvas, *args, **kwargs):
FileselectorButton.__init__(self, canvas)
efl.elementary.
