Images/icons. It's not displayed

[LMZ]

ok, thanks, know it's cleare for me.
and one more question - can I display on my form animated gif? When I add some pictures, the supported format is jpg and some others (I suggest), so within designer I can't add gif..

You have to enable gif support and recompile Qt. But it's not enough to make animated gifs work. You have to use QMovie.

[LMZ]

ok, with animations i'll "play" later

know, I tried to use resources, as you said...
.qrc file:

<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
 <qresource>
     <file>images/icon.jpg</file>
 </qresource>
 </RCC>

<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
 <qresource>
     <file>images/icon.jpg</file>
 </qresource>
 </RCC>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

In my .pro I added RESOURCES = res.qrc .
And finally, in my constructor i put down

this->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/icon.jpg"));

this->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/icon.jpg"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

No result..

Is the path correct during compilation (debug/release folder issues again)? What does QFile::exists(":/images/icon.jpg") return?

[LMZ]

well, QFile::exists() return true. What about the path, tutorial says that

The specified paths are relative to the directory containing the .qrc file.

And nothing about debug/release folders path..

What happens if you try to display a PNG file instead of a JPEG? And please test on a QLabel and not using a window icon.

[LMZ]

No result... I add to /images an png image - image.png
To res.qrc I add -

<file>images/image.png</file>

<file>images/image.png</file>

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And my .cpp:

qSpeed->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/image.png"));

qSpeed->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/image.png"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

//qSpeed is a label

[marcel]

Have you recompiled your resource?

[wysota]

First of all, did you run qmake after adding the resource file to the project?

[LMZ]

marcel, wysota:
sure

But, can I put my icon on a label, by using QLabel::setWindowIcon(QIcon(...)) ? Maybe this is the problem?...

[marcel]

No.
Use QLabel::setPixmap.

[LMZ]

qSpeed->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/image.png"));

qSpeed->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/image.png"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

no result.....:-\
