QFileDialog hidden files

[blukske]

Hi all,

I'm trying to construct a QFileDialog which shows hidden files by default. Is this possible? There is no reference whatsoever in the help section of QFileDialog wrt. hidden files

it could be possible to get the source of the qfiledialog and fix the problem there (giving the class a new name and adding it to the project).

You can do it like this:

QString fn;
QFileDialog fd;
 
fd.setShowHiddenFiles(TRUE);
fn = fd.getOpenFileName(Dir,
                        FileMask,
                        this,
                        "",
                        "Select a file");

QString fn;
QFileDialog fd;

fd.setShowHiddenFiles(TRUE);
fn = fd.getOpenFileName(Dir,
                        FileMask,
                        this,
                        "",
                        "Select a file");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I would like to be able to allow users to turn hidden files and directories on and off interactively in my file dialogs. Does anyone know how to do this in qt3?
