QPlatformDialogHelper, QFileDialogOptions, and setSideBarUrls

fcarney

I am using private headers to build custom dialog for QtQuick. In order to get a file dialog that does what we want we had to go down this route. Anyway, I am trying to create custom Urls in the sidebar under Windows. I have tried this when creating the dialog, but it will not show custom urls:

QPlatformDialogHelper m_dlgHelper;
QFileDialogOptions m_options;
...
QList<QUrl> urllist;
// added various urls
...
m_options->setSideBarUrls(urllist);
m_dlgHelper->setOptions(m_options);
m_dlgHelper->setFilter();

The dialog works otherwise. I cannot get the side bar urls I add to show up.

It doesn't look like there is a way to do custom sidebars in the QML versions of FileDialog:
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtquick-dialogs-filedialog.html
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qt-labs-platform-filedialog.html

It is like sidebars have just been ignored in QML altogether.

Is there a way to do a custom semi native looking dialog with QML? I think I need to reinvent the file dialogs we have.
