post your code snippet having file dlg operation.

Here is the code:

QFileDialog dialog(this);
  dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::DirectoryOnly);
  QString strFileName = dialog.getOpenFileName(this,tr("Select File"), "", tr("All Files (*.*)"));

QFileDialog dialog(this);
  dialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::DirectoryOnly);
  QString strFileName = dialog.getOpenFileName(this,tr("Select File"), "", tr("All Files (*.*)"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Here is the code:

getOpenFileName(this,tr("Select File"), "", tr("All Files (*.*)"));

getOpenFileName(this,tr("Select File"), "", tr("All Files (*.*)"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

getOpenFileName(...) is a static method and has its own instance. The dialog instance created by you with flags won't affect this instance.

why can't you use getExistingDirectory ?

Thanks for the reply.

why can't you use getExistingDirectory ?

using this i am able to select dirs ony not files. I want to make a dialog in which i can able to select both files and dirs .

you can try this,

QFileDialog* dlg = new QFileDialog(NULL);
dlg->setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);
int nMode = dlg->exec();
QStringList strlist = dlg->selectedFiles();

QFileDialog* dlg = new QFileDialog(NULL);
dlg->setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);
int nMode = dlg->exec();
QStringList strlist = dlg->selectedFiles();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I also have the same problems, and after searching and trying for some times, I found this solution works. You could try.
