Do you mean that the list of filters won't appear if no filters are
added explicitely?
In wxFileDialog and wxDirCtrl there are default */*.* filters, IMO
wxFileCtrl should work in the same way, if SHOW_FILTERS flag is
specified.

so just don't add any filters to GtkFileChooserWidget if the flag is
not specified

I know how it works in case of file dialog. But wxFileCtrl will not
have Open/Save buttons. How the "open" ctrl will be different from the
"save" one?

But how it works for ctrl? (OK button is outside of ctrl). How it
works in GtkFileChooserWidget?

you wrote that it makes no sense for ctrl
