:( Problems with QTreeWidgetItem icons

[davit]

Hi all,

If I try to add no square shaped QIcon object to QTreeWidgetItem it doesn't displayed on item. Who is know the workaround for this. Please help me.

Thanks in advance,

The shape doesn't matter. Can we see your code?

I confirm, I just tried to display a 64x20 icon in my treewidget...and it doesn't appear!

It works in Qt Designer though..

[wysota]

My guess is that probably you provided a relative path to the image which is incorrect runtime and the pixmap can't be created. Could you please show us the code?

[guilugi]

Well, in my application, I use a resource file.
You can find in it (amongst others), a squared PNG image (64x64), that I always use as an icon for my tree items.

I simply resized it to 64x20 with mogrify, recompiled, and then...no more icons...

I checked the tracker, and I didn't find something relevant...

[marcel]

Perhaps the saved file cannot be interpreted by Qt. ( not standard PNG ).
I'm just saying...

[guilugi]

I thought of that first, but since it's correctly displayed in QtDesigner, I think that's some damn good PNG

Really annoying if it's a bug...there may be an easy workaround by making square pixmaps with transparent zones.

[wysota]

Could you just please show some code? It's not a bug, I assure you. I have used non-rectangular icons (define "non-rectangular" anyway... every image is rectangular) just fine many times.

Hi wysota,

The code is simple. I have implemented my own tree_widget_item class which is inherited from QTreeWidgetItem. The constructor is following:

tree_widget_item(QTreeWidget* t, const QString& s, const QPixmap& p)
        QTreeWidgetItem(t, QStringList(s))
{
        setIcon(QIcon(p));
}

tree_widget_item(QTreeWidget* t, const QString& s, const QPixmap& p)
        QTreeWidgetItem(t, QStringList(s))
{
        setIcon(QIcon(p));
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

p is correct pixmap, because if I use it for giving icon to comboBox it displays correctly.

Note: I didn't said that icon has no rectangular shape, I said that icon has no square shape.
By saying icon in this case I mean QPixmap object, from which I'm trying to create QIcon.
For rectangular Icons it works unstable (in some cases it displays, in other ones not).

Thanks,

Could you provide a little more code? Something that compiles, maybe? If you're able to reproduce the problem on a small example, it could help to solve the issue.

This seems to work fine for me (with a non-square pixmap).

#include <QApplication>
#include <QTreeWidget>
#include <QTreeWidgetItem>
#include <QtDebug>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QTreeWidget wgt;
  wgt.setColumnCount(1);
  QTreeWidgetItem *item = new QTreeWidgetItem(&wgt);
  QPixmap px("someimage.jpg");
  qDebug() << px.size();
  item->setIcon(0, QIcon(px));
  wgt.show();
  return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QTreeWidget>
#include <QTreeWidgetItem>
#include <QtDebug>

int main(int argc, char **argv){
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QTreeWidget wgt;
  wgt.setColumnCount(1);
  QTreeWidgetItem *item = new QTreeWidgetItem(&wgt);
  QPixmap px("someimage.jpg");
  qDebug() << px.size();
  item->setIcon(0, QIcon(px));
  wgt.show();
  return app.exec();
}

Hi wysota.

Your code doesn't work for attached .xpm file (icons doesn't displayed on treeWidget items).

Note: I'm using Qt4.2.2 on RHEL3.0.

Thanks,

Sorry I can't attach my file. So I'll copy the content to here.

/* XPM */
static char *dummy[]={
"150 1 1 1",
". c #000000",
".

static char *dummy[]={

It works just fine. It is just being scaled down so that it can fit into the item. Try a 25x10 image or change the icon size.

[davit]

Thanks guys for replays.
I have found solution. It seems QTreeWidget requires to set to icon that size which has QPixmap object.
So, we need to do following:

QTreeWidget* t = new QTreeWidget;
QPixmap p("somefile.xpm");
t->setIconSize(p.size());
QTreeWidgetItem* item = new QTreeWidgetItem(t);
item->setIcon(QIcon(p));

QTreeWidget* t = new QTreeWidget;
QPixmap p("somefile.xpm");
t->setIconSize(p.size());
QTreeWidgetItem* item = new QTreeWidgetItem(t);
item->setIcon(QIcon(p));
