how to find the main directory and load a file from it?

[hamzeeco]

i want to import some data from a file to my application, how do i prompt for inputting the file without having to write "c://others//c.dat"

is there a widget of some sort for that, like a dialog or phone browse?

You mean like QFileDialog?

(Note that I don't know how well it's implemented on Symbian. Some controls are pretty well done, others not so well.)
