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> <address><hr /><div align="center"><table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr class="address"><td align="left" width="25%">PyQt 4.10.3 for X11</td><td align="center" width="50%">Copyright © <a href="http://www.riverbankcomputing.com">Riverbank Computing Ltd</a> and <a href="http://www.qtsoftware.com">Nokia</a> 2012</td><td align="right" width="25%">Qt 4.8.5</td></tr></table></div></address></body></html>
