QFileDialog restrict for the users only the respective path

Pradeep Kumar

Hi,

I am using QFileDialog to save a file , i want to restrict the users to not to open any of the folders , apart from the folders which we specify in the code.

Ex: C:/Users/Documents/QT

and can we disable the other widgets in QFileDialog once the dialog opens, with the path specified.?.

```

QString strFileName;

QFileDialog oQFiledialog(this);
oQFiledialog.setFixedSize(200,200);
oQFiledialog.setObjectName("Hello");
//    oQFiledialog.setFileMode(QFileDialog::ExistingFiles);

strFileName = oQFiledialog.getOpenFileName(this,"","C:/Users/Documents/QT");


Thanks,

u can create a slot like dirchanged(QString dir), connect your file dialog's current changed signal to it :

connect(m_Fdialog,SIGNAL(currentChanged(QString)),SLOT(dirchanged(QString)));

and set the directory back to your desired path:

void Dialog::dirchanged(QString dir)
 {
     m_Fdialog->setDirectory("<your specific DIR path>");
 }

this way you'll always end up in the same directory.

I can use:
QFileDialog dialog(this);
connect(&dialog, SIGNAL(directoryEntered(const QString &)), this, SLOT(onFileDialogDirectoryChanged(const QString &)));

@Hung-Tran yours is better so i changed mine

connect(m_Fdialog,SIGNAL(directoryEntered(QString)),SLOT(dirchanged(QString)));
void Dialog::dirchanged(QString dir)
 {
     m_Fdialog->setDirectory("<your specific DIR path>");
 }
