setWindowIcon
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
I am having trouble setting an icon on the top left corner of the window. My
code doesn't give any errors, but also doesn't show the icon. Instead it
shows the default icon. I am using Qt 4.1 on windows XP Pro with VS 2005
Pro.Here's what I am doing:
--------
QWidget * window;
window->setWindowTitle("my application");
window->setWindowIcon(QIcon(QString("D:/testimages/img1.jpg")));
--------
Can anyone plz. guide me as what's going wrong here and how to fix it?
Thanks,
Ashish
Message 2 in thread
make sure you give the right path, have the icon list in the .prc,
redo the make process.

I don't mean the icon of the application file, I mean the icon of the
application window. I guess what you suggested is for the first one(correct
me if I am wrong) according to the following doc:
http://doc.trolltech.com/appicon.html
What I want to do is to change the icon on the top left corner of the
application main window. Do I still need to have the icon file in the
RESOURCE section? And btw, I am not using qmake, I am using CMake. How do I
do it? Plz. help.
Thanks,
Ashish

1) if you do not use qmake, list your resource in a abc.qrc
file like this:
---------------
<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file>D:/testimages/img1.jpg</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
---------------
2) compile with 'rcc abc.qrc'
3) have Q_INIT_RESOURCE(abc); in your app, often in main,
4) compile everything
5) then your setWindowIcon will show that icon topleft
5.5) if not, try with a .png file?

JPEG support is probably built into a plugin, not the Qt library itself.
You'll have to install the JPEG plugin in addition to the Qt DLL on the
target machine.

yes. i call mine .qrc (Qt resource) files, but the gist is that
it's a listing of external resources (e.g., images) that you'll want
automagically bundled with your application.
a .qrc file of mine looks like:
<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file>images/user.gif</file>
<file>images/user-light.gif</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>
to get that into your project, add something like this to your
.pro file:
RESOURCES += nfs4-acl-editor.qrc
then, in my application, i can refer to those images like:
ui = QIcon(QString(":images/user.gif"));
the leading colon in the filename means that it's bundled as a
resource. and .. shazam, it should work.
good luck,
d
