[Qt-interest] Problem with getExistingDirectory....Please advise

[Usman Ajmal]

Thank you very much Thiago...

One more favor....am getting following error:

error: no matching function for call to
‘MyFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(Ui::MainWindow* const, const char [23],
QString, bool)’
filedialog.h:41: note: candidates are: static QString
MyFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(QWidget*, const char*, const QString&,
bool, bool)

I know what the error says i.e. i have to use QWidget but don't know how to
resolve it. Following are the snippets of code...
