how select whole directory also in QFileDialog?

How can i support QFileDialog to open multiple files and folders(Directories)?
I'm wrote following code, It enables only to open files not able to open directories. How can i include Directory also?

Code:

---

QStringList files = QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames(
                            this,
                            "Select one or more files to open",
                            "/home",
                            "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)");

---

Please somebody help me....Thanks in advance..

Code:

---

QString s = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(
                    "/home",
                    "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)",
                    this,
                    "open file dialog"
                    "Choose a file" );

---

In the above example, The startup directory is set to "/home" ( or if you using windows -"C:\Win") The file filter is set to "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)". The parent of the file dialog is set to this and it is given the identification name - "open file dialog". The caption at the top of file dialog is set to "Choose a file". If you want to use multiple filters, separate each one with two semi-colons, e.g.
"Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg);;Text files (*.txt);;XML files (*.xml)"

NOTE - The code given is a working code from Qt 3. I am not sure whether the funtion definition has changed Qt 3 to Qt 4. PLease check the man pages/ documentation.

Hope this clear it out for you do let me/us know if you need anything more.

I searched around a bit and found that QFileDialog cannot by default select multiple files - http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/an...i_select_multi but by getting hold of other classes.

Check these threads out

Before posting search in the form first :-). Hope you can solve it.

Thank u so much...:)
