setting a window background...

[zlatko]

For set window background use void QWidget::setPaletteBackgroundColor ( const QColor & ) [virtual]

I am aware of this function - it existed in Qt3 and am using Qt4...I can't figure out how to set the background to a *.jpg...how can i use the above function for this!!!

thanks

QBrush brush(QPixmap("bg.jpg"));
QPalette palette = view->palette();
palette.setBrush(QPalette::Base, brush);
view->setPalette(palette);

QBrush brush(QPixmap("bg.jpg"));
QPalette palette = view->palette();
palette.setBrush(QPalette::Base, brush);
view->setPalette(palette);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Well try create palette with needed picture brush...And use setPalette() for your widget...
And just remark : have you try use QDesigner for set background image?

No. Why? Does it have any benefit?

well jpn, thanks for the reply...I had gone over that particular section in the doc but missed the mention of "customPattern (Pixmap)" at the bottom right of the image....perception of image problems

Thanks.

Em..for me yes its very big benefit...Why i must do it by own coding if i can just set it from QDesigner ..Think about it

Code less create more

You can learn from the code it generates to see how should things be done properly.
