    Default How to add network computers into QFileDialog?

    Hello!

    My QFileDialog object is for selecting folders. I do like this:

    Qt Code:
    1. QFileDialog flg(this, "Choose folder", QDir::homePath(), QString());
    2. flg.setFileMode(QFileDialog::Directory);
    3. flg.setOption(QFileDialog::ShowDirsOnly);
    4. if(flg.exec())
    5. {
    6. QStringList folders = flg.selectedFiles();
    7. ...
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I want the file dialog to display my network places (computers that are in my network) in the left panel (near My Computer, My Documents and etc). I know I can use the static method getExistingDirectory() but in that way I can choose only one folder but I need a multiselection. So what should I do? Would you help me, please?

    AFAIR, non-native dialog will not show network drives.
    Your biological and technological distinctiveness will be added to our own. Resistance is futile.

    Please ask Qt related questions on the forum and not using private messages or visitor messages.

    Thank you for the reply. I think you are right. I refused from folders multiselection and now I use the static method getExistingDirectory which displays my network places but allows to choose only one folder.
