Ideally, it would be more user-friendly to set the push buttons' labels to
"Load contacts from a file" and "Save contacts to a file". However, due to
the size of our push buttons, we set the labels to \gui{Load...} and

+ \key{Ctrl+Alt+R} and hover your mouse cursor on the \gui{Load...} and
+ \gui{Save...} push buttons.

+ Now lets look at the \c saveToFile() and \c loadFromFile() functions in
+ detail.
+
+
+ \section2 The \c saveToFile() Function
+
+ To save a contact, we first obtain \c fileName using
+ QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(). This is a convenience function provided by
+ QFileDialog, which pops up a modal file dialog and allows the user to enter
+ a file name or select any existing \c{.abk} file. The \c{.abk} file is our
+ Address Book extension that we create when we save contacts.
+
+ \snippet examples/addressbook-sdk/part6/addressbook.cpp saveToFile part1
+
+ The file dialog that pops up is displayed in the screenshto below:
+
+ #screenshot
+
+ If \c fileName is not empty, we create a QFile object, \c file, with
+ \c fileName. The QFile object works with QDataStream as QFile is a
+ QIODevice.
+
+ Next, we attempt to open the file in \l{QIODevice::}{WriteOnly} mode. If
+ this is unsuccessful, we display a QMessageBox to inform the user.
+
+ \snippet examples/addressbook-sdk/part6/addressbook.cpp saveToFile part2
+
+ Otherwise, we instantiate a QDataStream object, \c out, to write the open
+ file. QDataStream requires that the same version of the stream is used for
+ reading and writing. We ensure that this is the case by setting the version
+ used to the version introduced with Qt 4.5 before serializing the data into
+ \c file.
+ \snippet examples/addressbook-sdk/part6/addressbook.cpp saveToFile part3
+
+
+ \section2 The \c loadFromFile() Function
+
+ To load a contact, we also obtain \c fileName using
+ QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(). This function, the counterpart to
+ QFileDialog::getSaveFileName(), also pops up the modal file dialog and
+ allows the user to enter a file name or select any existing \c{.abk} file
+ to load it into the address book.
+
+ \snippet examples/addressbook-sdk/part6/addressbook.cpp loadFromFile part1
+
+ On Windows, for example, this function pops up a native file dialog, as
+ shown in the following screenshot.
+
+ # screenshot
+ If \c fileName is not empty, again, we use a QFile object, \c file, and
+ attempt to open it in \l{QIODevice::}{ReadOnly} mode. Similar to our
+ implementation
