QFileDialog Error

[micland]

@saitej
Hm, I think the reason for the display problem is the fact that the dialog is in fullsize mode (I'm not sure if this is really supported - on the other hand there's no reason why it should lead to a mixed up layout). And I have no idea why the dialog runs in fullscreen.
Could you try once to pass NULL instead of this just to see if the dialog layout changes?

@micland

I tried by passing NULL and also made sure the mainwindow is not maximized but still same problem persists

@mrjj

I tried the same code in the same system. It works on a new project but not on an existing one. I am unable to find a valid reason for this unusual behaviour

@saitej
ok. its really , really odd.

Could you try with the
QFileDialog::DontUseNativeDialog
flag and see if its the ubuntu dialog that is strange?

[saitej]

@mrjj
It didn't work :(

@mrjj

I will try to implement the same in qml. How to open file dialog in qml through a slot/function?

[mrjj]

@saitej

Same thing happens even with flag?

Hmm. I really have no idea what can do this.

Also since it works normally in default app and
the static call is the same.

Have you tried some of the other dialogs ? like COlorDIalog?

[saitej]

@mrjj
Nope. Any links would help

[mrjj]

@saitej

Its like the getOpenFileName, just to get a color and not a filename.

I just wonder if that is funky too.

QColorDialog works fine!!

[mrjj]

@saitej
Ok very strange..

Im not into QML but this seems to be sample

@mrjj

Thanks!!

I tried through QML also but am getting the same result.

@saitej
That's really strange. Can your share a minimal runnable code example so that other users can try to reproduce the behaviour on their platforms?

[saitej]

I think this guy might have faced a similar problem. The code that works for him doesnot work for me :( .

[mrjj]

@saitej
But you call the function on a menu click?
not in mainwin constructor ?

since it just in that project, im out of ideas. your Qt should be fine.

[saitej]

@mrjj
Ya!!

Hi,'

Yes, the dialog shows up in full screen and also I am unable to resize it from the bottom

It sounds like the event loop is blocked. I don't see how that might be happening from your snippet, but perhaps you could post the rest of the code - the whole method and how it's called?

Kind regards.

did you try to use the debug mode for track errors and see variables instances ?
Is your two differents projects has same files contents (or the second project is just a test case maybe ?). If this two projects are new, then use a tool for compare files contents to show differences appears.
then... you could also try to use valgrind tool from qtcreator.

Mainwindow.cpp

QAction *loadfile = new QAction("Load File",this);
ui->menuWidgets->addAction(loadfile);

connect(loadfile, SIGNAL(triggered(bool)),this,SLOT(onLoadfile()));

void MainWindow::onLoadfile(){
    QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,
                                                        tr("Open File"),QDir::homePath() , tr("Kml Files (*.kml)"));
        qDebug() << "Loading File"<< fileName;
        QFile file( fileName );
        if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly | QIODevice::Text))
            return;
}
