"""
    Demo - Fill a listbox with list of files FilesBrowse button

    This technique can be used to generate events from "Chooser Buttons" like FileBrowse, FilesBrowse
    FolderBrowser, ColorChooserButton, Calendar Button

    Any button that uses a "Target" can be used with an invisible Input Element to generate an
    event when the user has made a choice.  Enable events for the invisible element and an event will
    be generated when the Chooser Button fills in the element

    This particular demo users a list of chosen files to populate a listbox
