  // To use, invoke ACLiC from the ROOT prompt:
  // root [] .x QtMultiFileDialog.C++
  //
  // To use it with no ACLiC, omit the trailing "++"
  // root [] .x QtMultiFileDialog.C
  //
  // The QtMultiFileDialog creates TList of TObjString objects and
  // returns its pointer.
  //
  // The "QtFileDialog.C" macro provides the simplified version of the "QtMultiFileDialog.C"
  //
  // Option: you can change the look and feel of the Qt file dialog
  // ======= by providing the optional parameter "style":
  //         The number of the available styles is defined by your local
  //         Qt installation.
  //         Try: "windows", "motif", "kde", "platinum" etc
  //
  // The full list of the Qt classes available from Cint is defined by
  // begin_html <a href="http://root.bnl.gov/QtRoot/htmldoc/src/qtclasses.h.html">by $ROOTSYS/cint/lib/qtclasses.h</a> end_html
  //
  // All Qt classes can be used from ACLiC though.
