Hi, welcome to the forum.

You can start from [[doc:QFileSystemModel]] and here is a video "tutorial":http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92biLZST6Vg.

Hope it is useful.

i tried that way, i faced some issues while setting file path, and also it uses tree view instead of list view....i wanted specifically 4 column view

Okay, first you may go through "MVC":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/doc/qt-4.8/model-view-programming.html# in Qt.

And use the table view or list view whichever you like.

[[Doc:QColumnView]] comes closest to the Finder's view. Connect it with a [[Doc:QFileSystemModel]] to populate it with the file system contents.
