Select file

[moravas]

Hi Folks,

I would like to provide a dialog window for the user to select files (once at a time) form my application, like "Open" or "New" menu in case of desktop applciations.
How should I do that?

Regards,
Norbert

It's all in the documentation: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qfiledialog.html

Hi,

thanks a lot. I tried it out and as I saw, there is a bit problem about the scaling: the user cannot see the bottom side of the window, because its too large. Is it possible to scale the dialog box?

Regards,
Norbert

@moravas If you want to open the file is only one file, use this function QFileDialog ::getOpenFileName();
If you want to open more than one file using this function QFileDialog ::getOpenFileNames();

@moravas QFileDialog is just a subclass of QDialog which is a subclass of QWdiget , you can instanciate it and use its methods to change its properties (its size for example) like any other QWidget.
