✨ NAME ✨

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 πŸŽ€

(oh and hey, this is from the 3alleg5 manual section, so you know exactly where you are πŸ’…)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

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" πŸ‘‘


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

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 like… how many files did they actually pick tho πŸ€”

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 ✨ the vibes were off ✨, and you get 0 back.

fr fr, 0 is your "nothing happened here" signal β€” no files, no drama, no stress 🫢

πŸ¦‹ that's the whole page πŸ¦‹

ngl this one was a short queen and she ate πŸ’…

Sign-off time, because I love you: this lil slice of wisdom comes to you from the Allegro reference manual, 3alleg5 edition 🌈 β€” go forth and count those files, you absolute main character πŸ‘‘βœ¨
