al_get_native...e_dialog_count(3alleg5)
β¨ NAME β¨
al_get_native_file_dialog_count β the Allegro 5 API bestie that tells you how many files your cutie little dialog actually got you π
(oh and hey, this is from the 3alleg5 manual section, so you know exactly where you are π )
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
okay so here's the whole vibe, verbatim, no notes:
#include <allegro5/allegro_native_dialog.h>
int al_get_native_file_dialog_count(const ALLEGRO_FILECHOOSER *dialog)
like. it's giving "one function, one job, one icon" π
π DESCRIPTION π
So you popped open a native file dialog (you know, the one your actual operating system draws, not some handmade Allegro situation), the user did their little clicky-click thing, and now you're sitting there likeβ¦ how many files did they actually pick tho π€
That's the whole assignment, bestie. This function returns the number of files selected. That's it. That's the tea. β
And if the dialog got cancelled? 0. Zero. Nada. The user hit cancel, or β¨ the vibes were off β¨, and you get 0 back.
fr fr, 0 is your "nothing happened here" signal β no files, no drama, no stress π«Ά
π¦ that's the whole page π¦
ngl this one was a short queen and she ate π
Sign-off time, because I love you: this lil slice of wisdom comes to you from the Allegro reference manual, 3alleg5 edition π β go forth and count those files, you absolute main character πβ¨
