Question

I want to create a GUI application using Qt. For that I need to get the filename using:

QString fileName=getOpenFileName(.....)

I am using Windows and want to have the filename path in C:\a\b\c format and pass it to a function accepting char variables. How can I implement this?

According to the Qt FAQ

QString path = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(...);
QByteArray byteArray = path.toLocal8Bit();
const char *charPath = byteArray.data();
