[Qt-interest] QFileDialog::getOpenFileName Directory name setting

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

First of all I would advice to decide do you want to use static function or QFileDialog instance. There is no reason to mix them, so revise your code appropriately.

In case of static replace your code with:

QString str = "F:/Work/FILES";
QString  dynFile = QFileDiag::getOpenFileName(this,"Select..", str ,"File (*.D)");

Subject: [Qt-interest] QFileDialog::getOpenFileName Directory name setting

Dear Group,
I am using QFileDialog::getOpenFileName to allow user to select a file, but I am not able to set the directory for this function to look for a file. When my code looks like :

1.
    QFileDialog fileDiag;
    QString str = "";
    fileDiag.setViewMode(QFileDialog::List);
    str = "F:/Work/FILES";
    fileDiag.setDirectory(str);
    dynFile = fileDiag.getOpenFileName(this,"Select..", str ,"File (*.D)");

Dialog box opens in the same directory as the programme
But when my code is
2.
    QFileDialog fileDiag;
    fileDiag.setViewMode(QFileDialog::List);
    dynFile = fileDiag.getOpenFileName(this,"Select..", "F:/Work/FILES" ,"File (*.D)");

Dialog box open in "F:/Work/FILES/" dir.

Can any one sees the mistake in case 1. ?? Have anyone else also seen this problem ?

- Yogi
