The filter property is used to initialize the list of file types displayed in the file type combo box. The filter string consists of pairs of strings, where the first string is the displayed file type name and the second string is a semicolon delimited set of wildcards for filtering files of the desired type. The strings are delimited by a vertical bar character as follows:
"Type 1 Files|*.ft1;*.abc|Type 2 Files|*.ft2|"
