access the network to read files

[JohannesMunk]

Why don't you just try it?

Selecting a network file with a File-Open-Dialog and then reading it with QFile, doesn't require any special treatment.

Windows handles SMB shares transparently.

#include <QtCore>
#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);
 
    QPlainTextEdit te;
    te.show();
 
    QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(0, "Open Text File", "", "Text Files (*.txt *.*)");
    qDebug() << fileName;
    QFile* f = new QFile(fileName);
    if (f->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    {
        QTextStream* ts = new QTextStream(f);
        te.setPlainText(ts->readAll());
        delete ts;
    }
    delete f;
 
    QObject::connect(&a, SIGNAL(lastWindowClosed()), &a, SLOT(quit()));
 
    return a.exec();
}

#include <QtCore>
#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication a(argc, argv);

    QPlainTextEdit te;
    te.show();

    QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(0, "Open Text File", "", "Text Files (*.txt *.*)");
    qDebug() << fileName;
    QFile* f = new QFile(fileName);
    if (f->open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
    {
        QTextStream* ts = new QTextStream(f);
        te.setPlainText(ts->readAll());
        delete ts;
    }
    delete f;

    QObject::connect(&a, SIGNAL(lastWindowClosed()), &a, SLOT(quit()));

    return a.exec();
}
