How to display icon from theme in QLabel?

Hi,

is it possible to display an icon from theme in a QLabel?

I'm currently displaying an icon from the resources using the following HTML code as text:

Qt Code:

Switch view

<html><head/><body><p style="font-weight: bold"><img src=":/images/information.png"/> Currently there is no (supported) tag assigned.</p></body></html>

<html><head/><body><p style="font-weight: bold"><img src=":/images/information.png"/> Currently there is no (supported) tag assigned.</p></body></html>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Is there an way to use an icon from theme in HTML code like it can be achieved using the following code:

Qt Code:

Switch view

QIcon::fromTheme(QStringLiteral("list-add"), QIcon(QStringLiteral(":/images/add")))

QIcon::fromTheme(QStringLiteral("list-add"), QIcon(QStringLiteral(":/images/add")))

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks for you answers.

That is unfortunately not so straight forward because QLabel does not give you access to its internal QTextDocument (see http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qte...ml#addResource)

I think you have basically three options
1) save the pixmap from QIcon into a temporary file and reference it in the label text
2) use a more advanced text widget instead of QLabel
3) create your own widget that uses a QTextDocument to render the text, potentially putting it into a QFrame if you where using that aspect of QLabel.

Cheers,
