[Qt-interest] Problem about QFileDialog::getOpenFileName() style

[aaron lewis]

Are you working with VS2K5 or higher version ?
Maybe you want to integrate it using project file.

example:

CONFIG += embed_manifest_exe ( or dll as you wanted )

Put your manifest file in the same dir with your programm.

Note: I didn't try it(No Windows here) , I found this on internet.
      I'd appreciate it if anyone helps me to test.

And the rest of my application *does* "look like Windows XP" (so I am using the Windows XP Qt style).
