    public class FileUpload

extends Widget
implements HasName, HasChangeHandlers

A widget that wraps the HTML <input type='file'> element. This widget must be used with `FormPanel` if it is to be submitted to a server.

### Example

>     public class FormPanelExample implements EntryPoint {

>       public void onModuleLoad() {
>         // Create a FormPanel and point it at a service.
>         final FormPanel form = new FormPanel();
>         form.setAction("/myFormHandler");

>         // Because we're going to add a FileUpload widget, we'll need to set the
>         // form to use the POST method, and multipart MIME encoding.
>         form.setEncoding(FormPanel.ENCODING_MULTIPART);
>         form.setMethod(FormPanel.METHOD_POST);

>         // Create a panel to hold all of the form widgets.
>         VerticalPanel panel = new VerticalPanel();
>         form.setWidget(panel);

>         // Create a TextBox, giving it a name so that it will be submitted.
>         final TextBox tb = new TextBox();
>         tb.setName("textBoxFormElement");
>         panel.add(tb);

>         // Create a ListBox, giving it a name and some values to be associated with
>         // its options.
>         ListBox lb = new ListBox();
>         lb.setName("listBoxFormElement");
>         lb.addItem("foo", "fooValue");
>         lb.addItem("bar", "barValue");
>         lb.addItem("baz", "bazValue");
>         panel.add(lb);

>         // Create a FileUpload widget.
>         FileUpload upload = new FileUpload();
>         upload.setName("uploadFormElement");
>         panel.add(upload);

>         // Add a 'submit' button.
>         panel.add(new Button("Submit", new ClickHandler() {
>           public void onClick(ClickEvent event) {
>             form.submit();
>           }
>         }));

>         // Add an event handler to the form.
>         form.addSubmitHandler(new FormPanel.SubmitHandler() {
>           public void onSubmit(SubmitEvent event) {
>             // This event is fired just before the form is submitted. We can take
>             // this opportunity to perform validation.
>             if (tb.getText().length() == 0) {
>               Window.alert("The text box must not be empty");
>               event.cancel();
>             }
>           }
>         });
>         form.addSubmitCompleteHandler(new FormPanel.SubmitCompleteHandler() {
>           public void onSubmitComplete(SubmitCompleteEvent event) {
>             // When the form submission is successfully completed, this event is
>             // fired. Assuming the service returned a response of type text/html,
>             // we can get the result text here (see the FormPanel documentation for
>             // further explanation).
>             Window.alert(event.getResults());
>           }
>         });
