Qt and files in shared folders

Question

Can I use Qt to pick/open files on shared folder? I've tried to use QFileDialog, but it seems that there is no "network" category, as in standrd windows explorer.

Answer 1

You need to specify which version of Qt you are using. Versions 4.7+ have support for native file dialogs and use them by default. See the accepted answer here:

• QFileDialog alternative that uses default file dialog defined by OS?

In previous versions, there was no easy way to show network shares in the QFileDialog on Windows.
