DESCRIPTION

FileSelectionBox has a number of children. They have names

: Apply

Each child has methods appropriate to its type. For example, the ItemsList widget is currently a List widget and so has methods ``selectPosition'', etc. Note that OSF warn against assuming a particular type for any child widget, so you should check the class before using a widget-specific method.
