loading an image onto any form's widget

[sudheer]

hi friends, i can able to load a text file onto the form's "textEdit" widget but i am not able to load an image since in a Designer there are only few display widget(like QGraphicsView,LCD) so how can i load an image????

With QTextEdit you will have to use QTextDocument::addResource():

textEdit->document()->addResource(QTextDocument::ImageResource, QUrl("url-used-in-html"), QImage("image.png"));

textEdit->document()->addResource(QTextDocument::ImageResource, QUrl("url-used-in-html"), QImage("image.png"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Just notice that QTextBrowser is capable of loading resources from local files out of the box.

not only with the QTextEdit, but there are other classes like QImage,QImageReader how can i use these classes to display the image. I have written something like this

"QString filename = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this);"

with this file "filename" can i display the image using QImage class (since it has fun'
QImage::QImage ( const QString & fileName, const char * format = 0 ) )

any suggess' plz welcome

If you just want to display an image, you can use QLabel. Also use QPixmap instead of QImage.
