QFileDialog::getOpenFileName - change label to "import"?

[marc2050]

Hi.

When I use QFileDialog::getOpenFileName to let user choose a file to import, the dialog's button reads "open". Is it possible to change that button to "Import" rather than open? It is not a big deal but it makes my application more in line with the action the user is doing.

Thanks!

Use this

void QFileDialog::setLabelText (QFileDialog::Accept, "Import" )

void QFileDialog::setLabelText (QFileDialog::Accept, "Import" )

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I tried. But it does not work. Any other idea?

Seems to work fine for me:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
	QFileDialog d; 
	d.setLabelText( QFileDialog::Accept, "whatever" );
	d.exec();
	qDebug() << d.selectedFiles();
 
	return a.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QDebug>
#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
	QApplication a(argc, argv);

	QFileDialog d; 
	d.setLabelText( QFileDialog::Accept, "whatever" );
	d.exec();
	qDebug() << d.selectedFiles();

	return a.exec();
}

I did this. Does not seem to work.

QFileDialog d;
d.setLabelText( QFileDialog::Accept, "whatever" );
QString fileName = d.getOpenFileName(this, tr("Import File"),
importfilename,
tr("jpg (*.jpg)"));

getOpenFileName is static method, it will create default file dialog inside, will not use your dialog object. You need to call "exec" to use your dialog with changed label.
