QApplication app(...);
QFile qss("stylesheet.qss");
qss.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
app.setStyleSheet(qss.readAll());
qss.close();

QApplication app(...);
QFile qss("stylesheet.qss");
qss.open(QFile::ReadOnly);
app.setStyleSheet(qss.readAll());
qss.close();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Hi. Im also using qss file. Are u adding Q_INIT_RESOURCES in ur main(), inorder to initialise qss?

Thanx.

QSS and Q_INIT_RESOURCES have nothing to do with each other.

QSS and Q_INIT_RESOURCES have nothing to do with each other.

As far my understand I think qss(qt Style sheet) is also a resources and Q_INIT_RESOURCES is required to initialise all resources. So i asked this. I also posted this inforum http://www.qtcentre.org/forum/f-qt-p...rce-12508.html But i didnt get any reply. So i asked this.

That's not true.

and Q_INIT_RESOURCES is required to initialise all resources.

That's not true as well.

"Qt resources" is a virtual filesystem, nothing more, nothing less. Stylesheets have nothing to do with files and in this particular case the stylesheet is loaded from an external and real file.

Q_INIT_RESOURCES is only needed if you want to initialize resources that are embedded int a static library on some of the platforms. It' required to link them to the filesystem already existing in the application.

Thank you very much
But i ve a doubt, can i use Q_INIT_RESOURCE macro in a dll.?

Do you need the macro? Yes, you can use it, but you probably don't have to.
