Image resources (png, ico) not rendering in app

[d_stranz]

The more important part of anda_skoa's question is whether the resources you are trying to use are in your app EXE or if they are in a DLL you are dynamically loading into your app. If they are in a DLL, you'll need to put a Q_INIT_RESOURCE() macro in main() after your QApplication instance is declared so it will load them properly:

QApplication app( argc, argv );
 
Q_INIT_RESOURCE( MyDLL );

QApplication app( argc, argv );

Q_INIT_RESOURCE( MyDLL );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

(assuming your DLL is named "MyDLL.dll")

In Visual Studio, right-click on your qrc file name in the Solution Browser and go to the General properties page. It should look something like the attached screenshot; basically, it should be running rcc on the resource file and putting something in the GeneratedFiles directory.
