QLineEdit will not change with QFileDialog (pyqt)

[Richie]

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Here's the most annoying thing: "print a" prints the file path perfectly! It just will not change the QLineEdit! I can't even think of a workaround.

But what is its type? It's probably not "QString instance", is it?

<class 'PyQt4.QtCore.QString'>

It was generated by QFileDialog::getOpenFileName, which returns a QString.

I'm stumped.

Solved! If I explicitly set it to a QString, it works perferctly.

a=QtCore.QString(getdb())
txtdb.setText(a)

a=QtCore.QString(getdb())
txtdb.setText(a)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

wysota, you're a hero. Many thanks!
