Hi Rajiv,

as stated in the Qt docs:

  http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qfiledialog.html#getOpenFileName

"Under Windows and Mac OS X, this static function will use the native file dialog and not a QFileDialog."

The *native* file dialog does not care about Qt styles (but has other "advantages", for example on Windows it offers direct access to the "Desktop", "Recent Files" etc. - well, think "native" ;).

As you already have found yourself out you need to instantiate your own instance of QFileDialog if you want it to adhere to your style. Same goes for the printer dialog.


Say "Hello" to Andreas ;)

Cheers, Oliver
