You won't be able to use the static call if you want to resize the dialog. But if you use the regular QFileDialog class with exec() then before calling exec you can call resize() to resize the dialog to the size you want.

Hi Wyotsa,

QFileDialog *dialog = new QFileDilaog();

You can't call getOpenFileName() - it's a static method which you should avoid. You need to setup the dialog properly using the QFileDialog class methods and then call exec().

Here is a minimal example:

QFileDialog dlg;
dlg.resize(320,240);
dlg.exec();

QFileDialog dlg;
dlg.resize(320,240);
dlg.exec();

Hi Wysota,

I had a problem with the above file dialog operation.

I am trying to get the file name using "selected file" function when user Opens a file using Open file dialog.

QFileDialog *dlg=new QFileDialog;
   dlg->setWindowTitle("USB");
  dlg->setAcceptMode(QFileDialog::AcceptOpen);
  dlg->setLabelText(QFileDialog::LookIn,"OPEN");
  dlg->setFileMode(QFileDialog::ExistingFile);
  dlg->setViewMode(QFileDialog::List);
  dlg->resize(320,200);
if(dlg->exec()==QDialog::Accepted)
{
QStringList fileName=dlg->selectedFiles();
}

QFileDialog *dlg=new QFileDialog;
   dlg->setWindowTitle("USB");
  dlg->setAcceptMode(QFileDialog::AcceptOpen);
  dlg->setLabelText(QFileDialog::LookIn,"OPEN");
  dlg->setFileMode(QFileDialog::ExistingFile);
  dlg->setViewMode(QFileDialog::List);
  dlg->resize(320,200);
if(dlg->exec()==QDialog::Accepted)
{
QStringList fileName=dlg->selectedFiles();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The above code gets compiled and executed but it doesn't give the file name whatever been selected through file dialog.

Please help.
