As a note I would recommend putting it in a try / finally statement to
ensure it gets set back even if part of it fails unless it does this
automatically:
#Python
def launchFileBrowser(self):
try:
# suspend control hooks so our filedialog looks normal
desktop = Application.Desktop
desktop.SuspendWin32ControlsHook()
# call the filedialog
self.fileDialog = QFileDialog(self)
sourceDir = self.fileDialog.getExistingDirectory(None,'Choose a
directory')
finally:
# restore control hooks
desktop.RestoreWin32ControlsHook()
