Member Function Documentation

[static] QString QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(const QString & dir, QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), bool dirOnly = true, bool resolveSymlinks = true)

Use the getExistingDirectory() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

[static] QString QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(const QString & dir, const QString & filter = QString(), QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), QString * selectedFilter = 0, bool resolveSymlinks = true)

Use the getOpenFileName() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

[static] QStringList QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(const QString & filter, const QString & dir = QString(), QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), QString * selectedFilter = 0, bool resolveSymlinks = true)

Use the getOpenFileNames() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

[static] QString QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(const QString & dir, const QString & filter = QString(), QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), QString * selectedFilter = 0, bool resolveSymlinks = true)

Use the getSaveFileName() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

FileMode QFileDialog::mode() const

Use fileMode() instead.

See also setMode().

QString QFileDialog::selectedFile() const

Use selectedFiles() instead.

For example, if you have code like

QString selected = dialog->selectedFile();

you can rewrite it as

 QStringList files = dialog->selectedFiles();
 QString selected;
 if (!files.isEmpty())
     selected = files[0];

void QFileDialog::setDir(const QString & directory)

Use setDirectory() instead.

void QFileDialog::setDir(const QDir & directory)

Use setDirectory() instead.

void QFileDialog::setMode(FileMode m)

Use setFileMode() instead.

See also mode().
