did you (not) set QWidget::autoFillBackground()?

i am setting the autoFillBackground() and then setting palette by setPalette(const QPalette) ,this is how i am trying to do this but it throws an error .

QPalette *palette;
setAutoFillBackground(TRUE);
palette->setBrush(QPalette::Window,QPixmap(BACKGROUND_DIR_LOCATION));
 
setPalette(palette);---->it throws error here

QPalette *palette;
setAutoFillBackground(TRUE);
palette->setBrush(QPalette::Window,QPixmap(BACKGROUND_DIR_LOCATION));

setPalette(palette);---->it throws error here

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

i have solved it,not a big thing...jus not declare palette as pointer..

QPalette palette;
palette.setBrush(this->backgroundRole(), QBrush(QImage("backgroundImage.jpg")));
 
this->setPalette(palette);

QPalette palette;
palette.setBrush(this->backgroundRole(), QBrush(QImage("backgroundImage.jpg")));

this->setPalette(palette);

Of course....

QPalette *palette;
setAutoFillBackground(TRUE);
palette->setBrush(QPalette::Window,QPixmap(BACKGROUND_DIR_ LOCATION));
 
setPalette(palette);---->it throws error here

QPalette *palette;
setAutoFillBackground(TRUE);
palette->setBrush(QPalette::Window,QPixmap(BACKGROUND_DIR_ LOCATION));

setPalette(palette);---->it throws error here

You didnt create an instance of palette like -
palette = new QPalette();
