[Slowdown]

tried several way's but don't succeeded to compile a binary with an application Icon.
did i missed something or must i archive as Wish

I haven't tried, but this looks like it:
QApplication:Property:windowIcon::QIcon

No idea at the moment what a QIcon is, .ico .png .???

It already works. Just do the following for Windows:

Create a file named

windows_application_icon.rc

in Resources directory within your project

and add this line

Code: Select all

 IDI_ICON1  ICON   "windows_application_icon.ico"


and then add the icon file to be used and place it in the Resources directory as well (this directory can be created within the IDE - see Project->Create->Resources)

and name it the same name as in the rc file, here windows_application_icon.ico

Thanx Bernd, keep you informed.

@Bernd,
Works for GCC but not for VS

[Henning]

VS is not using the "standard" QT GCC files.

Did you try the link in my earlier post?

@Henning,
Yes have tried the suggestions but no luck.
But don't know if that is because the deploy isn't working for VS.
There are no error's but the final binary isn't working and Windows is complaining about missing DLL's.
Reported this here.
And if i'm allowed to give a opinion,
For an end user of Q7B this must be transparent using VS/GCC adding an application icon must be done in the same way,
and the most likely place is i think in the code itself.
Hmmm i think i'm running to fast here knowing that Bernd is planning to use is own form editor in the future

Copy the following files from the q7b installation to sub directory "vc" and it will work:

QtScript4.dll
QtScriptd4.dll

Sorry about this. Somehow this files got lost in "vc"

Thanx, this works.
