File dialog discrepancy
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I am using Qt 2.2.4 commercial on windows NT/2000 and Solaris (Sparc). I am
facing a problem with Qt file dialog.
On Windows :
when I use Static function "getOpenFilename" function provided in
QFileDialog, it opens Windows file dialog and if QFileDialog dialog is
instantiated for open file dialog, then Qt Native file dialog is opened.
I don't understand why is this happening ?
Is this a bug?
bye,

I don't have the Qt2 docs at hand, but in QT3 the documentation states that
on Win32 and Mac the static functions call the native Dialog from the OS and
instatiations from QFileDialog use QT's Dialog. The reason for this is
probably that you can go along with the OS's native version for just
selecting a filename, but you need your own dialog if you want to plug in
your own widgets, extensions and stuff like that.
