## Description

`gtk.RecentChooserDialog` is a dialog box suitable for displaying the recently used documents. This widgets works by putting a `gtk.RecentChooserWidget` inside a `gtk.Dialog`. It exposes the `gtk.RecentChooser` interface, so you can use all the `gtk.RecentChooser` methods on the recent chooser dialog as well as those for `gtk.Dialog`.

Note that `gtk.RecentChooserDialog` does not have any methods of its own. Instead, you should use the methods that work on a `gtk.RecentChooser`.

Example 4. Typical usage

In the simplest of cases, you can use the following code to use a `gtk.RecentChooserDialog` to select a recently used file:

      dialog = gtk.RecentChooserDialog("Recent Documents", parent_window, None,
    			           (gtk.STOCK_CANCEL, gtk.RESPONSE_CANCEL,
    				    gtk.STOCK_OPEN, gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT))

      if dialog.run() == gtk.RESPONSE_ACCEPT:
        info = dialog.get_current_item ()
        open_file(info.get_uri())
      dialog.destroy()

Recently used files are supported since GTK+ 2.10.

## Constructor

### gtk.RecentChooserDialog

        gtk.RecentChooserDialog(title=None, parent=None, manager=None, buttons=None)

`title` : | Title of the dialog, or `None`
`parent` : | Transient parent of the dialog, or `None`,
`manager` : | a `gtk.RecentManager`, or `None`,
`buttons` : | a sequence of text-response pairs
Returns : | a new `gtk.RecentChooserDialog`

### Note

This constructor is available in PyGTK 2.10 and above.

Creates a new `gtk.RecentChooserDialog` with the title text specified by `title` (or `None` for the default title; see `gtk.Window.set_title`()) and transient parent window specified by `parent` (or `None` for none; see `gtk.Window.set_transient_for`()). `manager` specifies a `gtk.RecentManager` object (or `None`). `buttons` is a sequence of button text/response ID pairs should be listed, or `None` (the default value) if no buttons are needed. The button text can be either a stock ID such as `gtk.STOCK_OK`, or some arbitrary text. A response ID can be any positive number, or one of the pre-defined GTK Response Type Constants. This constructor is analogous to `gtk.Dialog`.
