i dont get anythin returned.

Well I geuss thats indeed what i need, but how to use it?
I get
"TypeError: first argument of unbound method QFileDialog.dirPath() must be a QFileDialog instance"
when i just use it like:
print QFileDialog.dirPath()
just to see if it works.

def OpenFile(self):
        QFileDialog.getOpenFileName("/home/Documents/29-10-07 MiraTest/Browsing app", "UI Files (*.ui)")
        print QFileDialog.dirPath()
        #print QFileDialog.selectedFile()
        #datafile = QFileDialog.selectedFile()
        #QFileDialog.ExistingFile()
        #datafile = fileSelected()
        #datafile=selectedFile()
        #datafile = self.lE_file.text().ascii()
        #self.lE_file.setText(datafile)
        #self.lE_file.insertItem

def OpenFile(self):
        QFileDialog.getOpenFileName("/home/Documents/29-10-07 MiraTest/Browsing app", "UI Files (*.ui)")
        print QFileDialog.dirPath()
        #print QFileDialog.selectedFile()
        #datafile = QFileDialog.selectedFile()
        #QFileDialog.ExistingFile()
        #datafile = fileSelected()
        #datafile=selectedFile()
        #datafile = self.lE_file.text().ascii()
        #self.lE_file.setText(datafile)
        #self.lE_file.insertItem

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

As you can see i tried multiple things. I want to name the file that has been chosen as "datafile" and then set this as the text for my lineEdit.

I get
TypeError: first argument of unbound method QFileDialog.dirPath() must be a QFileDialog instance

getFileDialog() is a static member - so you don't need an instance of QFileDialog to use it.
But to use selecteFile() you need an instance of QFileDialog.
So create a variable of Type QFileDialog, and use it to access all the methods you need.

Im not quite sure i completly understand how to do that. Its rather new for me.

[high_flyer]

Do what? define a variable?

[nitriles]

a variable of Type QFileDialog, and use it to access all the methods you need.

I dont know what to do here

[high_flyer]

Amm...
I don't know what to answer to that.

1. define a variable of type QFileDialog. (if you don't know how to do this, you should start by reading the fundamentals of programming in general, and the language you are using - nothing we can help you here with)
2. use the variable you declared in 1 to access the method - again, if you don't understand this, you lack basic understanding of the programming language you are trying to use, and again, nothing we can help with.

Just use:

filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self)

filename = QtGui.QFileDialog.getOpenFileName(self)

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

When a User selected file is available in filename which is in QString type, you can transform it with str()
