    Default Qt Resource images not showing while executing

    I'm also facing the issue of resource images not visible when the app is running. I have a plugin-based architecture. Lets say,

    NavControls, a staticLib, in which we have the icons on buttons.
    The NavControls.lib is used by a Plugin (VIEWERSHARED_EXPORT). I added it in the .pro of the Viewer Plugin
    Qt Code:
    1. win32:CONFIG(release, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../Deploy/bin/release/ -lNavControls
    2. else:win32:CONFIG(debug, debug|release): LIBS += -L$$PWD/../../Deploy/bin/debug/ -lNavControls
    3.  
    4. INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/../NavControls
    5. DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/../NavControls
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    This Viewer plugin implements an Interface.
    Finally, I load the plugin in the app, by QPluginLoader class..
    The plugin loads without any warnings, but the images are missing on the navControl's buttons.

    Please suggest what I'm missing!!

    Thanks,
    Sayan

    Default Re: Qt Resource images not showing while executing

    You probably need to put the Q_INIT_RESOURCE() macro in main() following the declaration of your QApplication object:

    Qt Code:
    1. Q_INIT_RESOURCE( name-of-lib );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    Where "name-of-lib" is the file name of your static library, without quotes and without the .lib extension. This macro tells Qt to load the resources from the library so they can be used in the app.

    Please use CODE tags when posting source code so it is more readable. Click "Go Advanced" and then the "#" icon to insert the tags. Paste your code between them.

    It is also possible you not have the necessary Qt image format plugins deployed.
