    Default Setting background image of QFrame

    Hello! I'm having some trouble getting a background image to show up in a QFrame using Qt 4.2.2. Here is a snippit of the code that I have:

    Qt Code:
    1. ui.frame->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(:/images/menu_background.png);"
    2. "background-repeat: repeat;");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    The image being referenced is pulled in via a QRC file I have in the project. However, for some reason the image isn't showing up... Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Here's the contents of the QRC file for reference:
    Qt Code:
    1. <RCC>
    2. <qresource prefix="/" >
    3. <file>images/menu_background.png</file>
    4. </qresource>
    5. </RCC>
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Thanks!

    Have you noticed the note:
    For QFrame and its subclasses, you must set the QFrame::frameStyle property to QFrame::StyledPanel; otherwise, the background attribute will not be respected.

    Ah, you're very right - I missed seeing that comment when I was skimming through the documentation (need to work on my reading comprehension... *sigh*).

    Originally I had the QFrame::frameShape set to QFrame::NoFrame and the QFrame::frameShadow set to QFrame::Plain. When I changed it back to QFrame::StyledPanel I also had to change the QFrame::frameShadow to QFrame::Raised in order for the background image to show up properly.

    Thanks!
