when there is a request to open a file or a URL.</p>
<p>File open events will be sent to the <a href="qcoreapplication.html#instance">QApplication.instance</a>() when
the operating system requests that a file or URL should be opened.
This is a high-level event that can be caused by different user
actions depending on the user's desktop environment; for example,
double clicking on an file icon in the Finder on Mac OS X.</p>
<p>This event is only used to notify the application of a request.
It may be safely ignored.</p>
<p><b>Note:</b> This class is currently supported for Mac OS X and
Symbian only.</p>
<hr /><h2>Method Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="file" />QString QFileOpenEvent.file (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the file that is being opened.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="openFile" />bool QFileOpenEvent.openFile (<i>self</i>, <a href="qfile.html">QFile</a> <i>file</i>, <a href="qiodevice-openmode.html">QIODevice.OpenMode</a> <i>flags</i>)</h3><p>Opens a <a href="qfile.html">QFile</a> on the <i>file</i>
referenced by this event in the mode specified by <i>flags</i>.
Returns true if successful; otherwise returns false.</p>
<p>This is necessary as some files cannot be opened by name, but
require specific information stored in this event. For example, if
this <a href="qfileopenevent.html">QFileOpenEvent</a> contains a
request to open a Symbian data caged file, the <a href="qfile.html">QFile</a> could only be opened from the Symbian RFile
used in the construction of this event.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.8.</p>
<h3 class="fn"><a name="url" /><a href="qurl.html">QUrl</a> QFileOpenEvent.url (<i>self</i>)</h3><p>Returns the url that is being opened.</p>
<p>This function was introduced in Qt 4.6.</p>
