This signal is emitted when a selection is made in the file chooser dialog.

setFileChooserPattern(file_pattern)
Set the pattern used by the file chooser dialog. The dialog only lists files that match the pattern.

Examples ¶
This example demonstrates creating a file chooser button and hooking it to a callback function that is invoked when a file is selected from the chooser dialog:
def onFileSelected(file_path): print("Selected file:", file_path) file_chooser_btn = hou.qt.FileChooserButton() file_chooser_btn.setFileChooserTitle("Please select a file") file_chooser_btn.setFileChooserMode(hou.fileChooserMode.Read) file_chooser_btn.fileSelected.connect(onFileSelected)
