[QT4.1.1 XP] background image

[incapacitant]

I try to set the background of a widget to an image as indicated in Assistant in the
Porting to QT4 of setPaletteBackgroundPixmap :

QWidget *widget = new QWidget;
QPixmap pixmap(":/images/bArchi.png");
QPalette palette;
palette.setBrush(widget->backgroundRole(), QBrush(pixmap));
widget->setPalette(palette);
setCentralWidget(widget);

QWidget *widget = new QWidget;
QPixmap pixmap(":/images/bArchi.png");
QPalette palette;
palette.setBrush(widget->backgroundRole(), QBrush(pixmap));
widget->setPalette(palette);
setCentralWidget(widget);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I played around with many combinations of the above code, but nothing will show my
image. The background remains unchanged...

Is the path to the resource image correct? Try using a file path (preferrably non-relative one) first.

QPixmap pixmap("C:/Qt/test/chart/images/bArchi.png");

QPixmap pixmap("C:/Qt/test/chart/images/bArchi.png");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Unfortunately the absolute path has the same negative result.

correct answer was simple but took me a while to find it :
to change this window's background :

QPalette palette;
QPixmap pixmap = QPixmap("./images/bBackground.png");
palette.setBrush((this)->backgroundRole(), QBrush(pixmap));
(this)->setPalette(palette);

QPalette palette;
QPixmap pixmap = QPixmap("./images/bBackground.png");
palette.setBrush((this)->backgroundRole(), QBrush(pixmap));
(this)->setPalette(palette);
