    Default Problems setting a background image

    Hi to all,
    I have some problems setting a background image on a QWidget.
    I tried with the designer and also with code so:

    Qt Code:
    1. ImageRenderer::ImageRenderer(QWidget* parent)
    2. : QWidget(parent),
    3. m_qImage(NULL)
    4. {
    5. setFixedSize( QSize(640, 480) );
    6. setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/resources/images/logo.jpg);");
    7.  
    8. //m_image = new QPixmap();
    9. m_qImageBuffer = (uchar *)malloc(640 * 480 * sizeof(uchar));
    10. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    The image is correctly in the resouces.
    Where am I wrong?
    Regards
    Franco Amato

    Sure you have the uri right? what is the output of
    Qt Code:
    1. QPixmap p(":/resources/images/logo.jpg");
    2. qWarning() << p.isNull();
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Or you don't have loaded the jpeg support. Try to set a png image for testing.

    Did you reimplement the paint event for your widget? Does the class contain Q_OBJECT macro?

    Hi Wysota yes this is the class:

    Qt Code:
    1. class ImageRenderer : public QWidget
    2. {
    3. Q_OBJECT
    4.  
    5. public:
    6. ImageRenderer(QWidget* parent=0);
    7. ~ImageRenderer();
    8.  
    9. void setImage(IplImage*);
    10.  
    11. public slots:
    12. QImage IplImageToQImage(const IplImage* iplImage);
    13.  
    14. protected:
    15. /* paint event */
    16. virtual void paintEvent( QPaintEvent* event );
    17.  
    18. private:
    19. QPixmap m_pixmap;
    20. IplImage* m_frame;
    21.  
    22. /* OpenCV -> Qt */
    23. QImage* m_qImage;
    24. unsigned char* m_qImageBuffer;
    25. };
    26.  
    27. #endif //#ifndef _IMAGERENDERER_H_
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    Well that's bad and means you havn't the right path or not installed the jpeg image plugin. How does your qrc look like and further how do you implement the paint event function?

    At the moment the paintEvent is empty it should contains something using the stylesheet in the ctor?

    If it is empty then whatever you do (even if you get jpgs to work as Lykurg pointed out) your background won't appear.

    I converted the image in png and the url is correct, now it find the correct url but I still don't see the background.
    So what I have to write in the paintEvent?


    Added after 6 minutes:

    I changed the paintEvent so:
    Qt Code:
    1. void ImageRenderer::paintEvent( QPaintEvent* pe )
    2. {
    3. QPainter p(this);
    4. p.setRenderHint( QPainter::Antialiasing, true );
    5.  
    6. // image
    7. p.drawPixmap( 0, 0, m_pixmap );
    8. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    and the ctor so:

    Qt Code:
    1. ImageRenderer::ImageRenderer(QWidget* parent)
    2. : QWidget(parent),
    3. m_qImage(NULL)
    4. {
    5. setFixedSize( QSize(640, 480) );
    6.  
    7. m_pixmap.load(":/CertiIris/images/logo.png");
    8. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    and now I can see the background image.
    So my question is: where I can use styleSheet and where not?
    Regards

    If you override the paint event and do custom painting then how do you expect to get stylesheets to work if they are part of the original painting routine?

    A description of what is needed for a bare QWidget to respect stylesheets was recently provided on the forum. Search for it if you want.
