How to set focus to file list box in QFileDialog

[mliu]

I only have six keys (up,down,left,right,Esc,Enter) in my app, there is no mouse. Now I need to open QFileDialog, use keys to select the file I want to open, so I have to set focus to file list box first after I open QFileDialog, but I have no idea to set focus in QFileDialog. Any help, please. Thanks a lot.

"setFocus":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qwidget.html#setFocus-2 can be used with QFileDialog. Or do you have to navigate from another widget to your file dialog using these 6 keys?

Are you really sure you want to use QFileDialog and not a custom build file selection dialog?

I know setFocus can be used with QFileDialog, but focus is just in file name box, can't be moved to file list box. I try to build file selection dialog, but how to get all files name under specific directory? Thank you.

QFileSystemModel is a good place to start; you can combine it with any of the Qt item views.

Thanks. I'll try it.
