## Member Function Documentation

### QStringList QFileDialog::filters () const

Use nameFilters() instead.

See also setFilters().

### QString QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory ( const QString & dir, QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), bool dirOnly = true, bool resolveSymlinks = true ) `[static]`

Use the getExistingDirectory() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

### QString QFileDialog::getOpenFileName ( const QString & dir, const QString & filter = QString(), QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), QString * selectedFilter = 0, bool resolveSymlinks = true ) `[static]`

Use the getOpenFileName() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

### QStringList QFileDialog::getOpenFileNames ( const QString & filter, const QString & dir = QString(), QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), QString * selectedFilter = 0, bool resolveSymlinks = true ) `[static]`

Use the getOpenFileNames() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

### QString QFileDialog::getSaveFileName ( const QString & dir, const QString & filter = QString(), QWidget * parent = 0, const char * name = 0, const QString & caption = QString(), QString * selectedFilter = 0, bool resolveSymlinks = true ) `[static]`

Use the getSaveFileName() overload that takes parent as the first argument instead.

### FileMode QFileDialog::mode () const

Use fileMode() instead.

See also setMode().

### void QFileDialog::selectFilter ( const QString & filter )

Use selectNameFilter() instead.

### QString QFileDialog::selectedFile () const

Use selectedFiles() instead.

For example, if you have code like

     QString selected = dialog->selectedFile();

you can rewrite it as

      QStringList files = dialog->selectedFiles();
      QString selected;
      if (!files.isEmpty())
          selected = files[0];

### QString QFileDialog::selectedFilter () const

Use selectedNameFilter() instead.

### void QFileDialog::setDir ( const QString & directory )

Use setDirectory() instead.

### void QFileDialog::setDir ( const QDir & directory )

Use setDirectory() instead.

### void QFileDialog::setFilter ( const QString & filter )

Use setNameFilter() instead.

### void QFileDialog::setFilters ( const QStringList & filters )

Use setNameFilters() instead.

See also filters().

### void QFileDialog::setMode ( FileMode m )

Use setFileMode() instead.

See also mode().
