+<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
+
+
+The TQFileDialog class provides dialogs that allow users to select files or directories.
+
+
+<p> The TQFileDialog class enables a user to traverse their file system in
+order to select one or many files or a directory.
+<p> The easiest way to create a TQFileDialog is to use the static
+functions. On Windows, these static functions will call the native
+Windows file dialog and on Mac OS X, these static function will call
+the native Mac OS X file dialog.
+<p> <pre>
+ <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> s = TQFileDialog::<a href="#getOpenFileName">getOpenFileName</a>(
+ "/home",
+ "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)",
+ this,
+ "open file dialog",
+ "Choose a file" );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> In the above example, a modal TQFileDialog is created using a static
+function. The startup directory is set to "/home". The file filter
+is set to "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)". The parent of the file dialog
+is set to <em>this</em> 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
+<em>two</em> semi-colons, e.g.
+<pre>
+ "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg);;Text files (*.txt);;XML files (*.xml)"
+ </pre>
+
+<p> You can create your own TQFileDialog without using the static
+functions. By calling <a href="#setMode">setMode</a>(), you can set what can be returned by
+the TQFileDialog.
+<p> <pre>
+ TQFileDialog* fd = new TQFileDialog( this, "file dialog", TRUE );
+ fd-&gt;<a href="#setMode">setMode</a>( TQFileDialog::<a href="#Mode-enum">AnyFile</a> );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> In the above example, the mode of the file dialog is set to <a href="#Mode-enum">AnyFile</a>, meaning that the user can select any file, or even specify a
+file that doesn't exist. This mode is useful for creating a "File Save
+As" file dialog. Use <a href="#Mode-enum">ExistingFile</a> if the user must select an
+existing file or <a href="#Mode-enum">Directory</a> if only a directory may be selected.
+(See the <a href="#Mode-enum">TQFileDialog::Mode</a> enum for the complete list of modes.)
+<p> You can retrieve the dialog's mode with <a href="#mode">mode</a>(). Use <a href="#setFilter">setFilter</a>() to set
+the dialog's file filter, e.g.
+<p> <pre>
+ fd-&gt;setFilter( "Images (*.png *.xpm *.jpg)" );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> In the above example, the filter is set to "Images (*.png *.xpm
+*.jpg)", this means that only files with the extension <tt>png</tt>, <tt>xpm</tt>
+or <tt>jpg</tt> will be shown in the TQFileDialog. You can apply
+several filters by using <a href="#setFilters">setFilters</a>() and add additional filters with
+<a href="#addFilter">addFilter</a>(). Use <a href="#setSelectedFilter">setSelectedFilter</a>() to select one of the filters
+you've given as the file dialog's default filter. Whenever the user
+changes the filter the <a href="#filterSelected">filterSelected</a>() signal is emitted.
+<p> The file dialog has two view modes, TQFileDialog::List which simply
+lists file and directory names and TQFileDialog::Detail which
+displays additional information alongside each name, e.g. file size,
+modification date, etc. Set the mode with <a href="#setViewMode">setViewMode</a>().
+<p> <pre>
+ fd-&gt;setViewMode( TQFileDialog::<a href="#ViewMode-enum">Detail</a> );
+ </pre>
+
+<p> The last important function you will need to use when creating your
+own file dialog is <a href="#selectedFile">selectedFile</a>().
+<p> <pre>
+ <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> fileName;
+ if ( fd-&gt;exec() == TQDialog::<a href="qdialog.html#DialogCode-enum">Accepted</a> )
+ fileName = fd-&gt;selectedFile();
+ </pre>
+
+<p> In the above example, a modal file dialog is created and shown. If
+the user clicked OK, then the file they selected is put in <tt>fileName</tt>.
+<p> If you are using the <a href="#Mode-enum">ExistingFiles</a> mode then you will need to use
+<a href="#selectedFiles">selectedFiles</a>() which will return the selected files in a <a href="qstringlist.html">TQStringList</a>.
+<p> The dialog's working directory can be set with <a href="#setDir">setDir</a>(). The display
+of hidden files is controlled with <a href="#setShowHiddenFiles">setShowHiddenFiles</a>(). The dialog
+can be forced to re-read the directory with <a href="#rereadDir">rereadDir</a>() and re-sort
+the directory with <a href="#resortDir">resortDir</a>(). All the files in the current directory
+can be selected with <a href="#selectAll">selectAll</a>().
+<p> <h3> Creating and using preview widgets
+</h3>
+<a name="1"></a><p> There are two kinds of preview widgets that can be used with
+TQFileDialogs: <em>content</em> preview widgets and <em>information</em> preview
+widgets. They are created and used in the same way except that the
+function names differ, e.g. <a href="#setContentsPreview">setContentsPreview</a>() and <a href="#setInfoPreview">setInfoPreview</a>().
+<p> A preview widget is a widget that is placed inside a TQFileDialog so
+that the user can see either the contents of the file, or information
+about the file.
+<p> <pre>
+ class Preview : public <a href="qlabel.html">TQLabel</a>, public TQFilePreview
+ {
+ public:
+ Preview( <a href="qwidget.html">TQWidget</a> *parent=0 ) : <a href="qlabel.html">TQLabel</a>( parent ) {}
+
+ void previewUrl( const <a href="qurl.html">TQUrl</a> &amp;u )
+ {
+ <a href="qstring.html">TQString</a> path = u.<a href="qurl.html#path">path</a>();
+ <a href="qpixmap.html">TQPixmap</a> pix( path );
+ if ( pix.<a href="qpixmap.html#isNull">isNull</a>() )
+ setText( "This is not a pixmap" );
+ else
+ setPixmap( pix );
+ }
+ };
+ </pre>
+
+<p> In the above snippet, we create a preview widget which inherits from
+<a href="qlabel.html">TQLabel</a> and <a href="qfilepreview.html">TQFilePreview</a>. File preview widgets <em>must</em> inherit from
+TQFilePreview.
+<p> Inside the class we reimplement <a href="qfilepreview.html#previewUrl">TQFilePreview::previewUrl</a>(), this is
+where we determine what happens when a file is selected. In the
+above example we only show a preview of the file if it is a valid
+pixmap. Here's how to make a file dialog use a preview widget:
+<p> <pre>
+ Preview* p = new Preview;
+
+ TQFileDialog* fd = new TQFileDialog( this );
+ fd-&gt;<a href="#setContentsPreviewEnabled">setContentsPreviewEnabled</a>( TRUE );
+ fd-&gt;<a href="#setContentsPreview">setContentsPreview</a>( p, p );
+ fd-&gt;<a href="#setPreviewMode">setPreviewMode</a>( TQFileDialog::<a href="#PreviewMode-enum">Contents</a> );
+ fd-&gt;<a href="qdialog.html#show">show</a>();
+ </pre>
+
+<p> The first line creates an instance of our preview widget. We then
+create our file dialog and call <a href="#setContentsPreviewEnabled">setContentsPreviewEnabled</a>( TRUE ),
+this tell the file dialog to preview the contents of the currently
+selected file. We then call <a href="#setContentsPreview">setContentsPreview</a>() -- note that we pass
+the same preview widget twice. Finally, before showing the file
+dialog, we call <a href="#setPreviewMode">setPreviewMode</a>() setting the mode to <em>Contents</em> which
+will show the contents preview of the file that the user has selected.
+<p> If you create another preview widget that is used for displaying
+information about a file, create it in the same way as the contents
+preview widget and call <a href="#setInfoPreviewEnabled">setInfoPreviewEnabled</a>(), and
+<a href="#setInfoPreview">setInfoPreview</a>(). Then the user will be able to switch between the
+two preview modes.
+<p> For more information about creating a <a href="qfilepreview.html">TQFilePreview</a> widget see
+<a href="qfilepreview.html">TQFilePreview</a>.
