Hey friend, Thanks for that suggestion ...I did try adding file filter and associating the filter with the file dialog. Here is the code I tried: **********************************START CODE CHUNK ************************* GtkFileFilter *filefilter;//For filtering only exe files into GtkWidget *wdgt_filechooser;//pointer for creating filechooser dialog box //Create and configure filter filefilter = gtk_file_filter_new(); gtk_file_filter_set_name(filefilter,(const gchar *)"exe filter"); //Add mime type "exe" to created filter. gtk_file_filter_add_pattern(filefilter,(const gchar *)"application/octet-stream"); //create file chooser dialog box wdgt_filechooser = create_ui_filechooser(); //Add filter to the dialog box gtk_file_chooser_add_filter((GtkFileChooser *)wdgt_filechooser,filefilter); //Show file chooser dialog box gtk_widget_show(wdgt_filechooser); *****************************END CODE CHUNK ******************************** This just didnt work out ...Only sub-folders in respective folders are being showed ...nothing else !! Help pls...
