Setting window icon on derived QWidget

[steg90]

Hi,

I'm struggling to set my window icon on a derived QWidget object.

This is the code I have to set the icon :

setWindowIcon(QIcon(QString::fromUtf8(":/QTCanMonitor/Resources/car.png")));

setWindowIcon(QIcon(QString::fromUtf8(":/QTCanMonitor/Resources/car.png")));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But alas, I still have the default QT icon?

Any help is appreciated,

Steve

setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/VDB_Logo.png")); this code working for me.
you try this
setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/QTCanMonitor/Resources/car.png"));
make sure your icon is there.

Still the same, the icon is there, but I still just get the default qt one.

Wondering if it could be something to with that the window is a sub-window? Code I use to add this to my mdi workspace :

m_pworkspace->addSubWindow( m_pPlotterView );

m_pworkspace->addSubWindow( m_pPlotterView );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Where m_pPlotterView is my class derived from QWidget.

The only window I've successfully been able to change icon on is if it is derived from QDialog?

Regards,
Steve

QMdiSubWindow* subWindow = m_pworkspace->addSubWindow( m_pPlotterView );
subWindow->setWindowIcon(QIcon(QString::fromUtf8(":/QTCanMonitor/Resources/car.png")));

QMdiSubWindow* subWindow = m_pworkspace->addSubWindow( m_pPlotterView );
subWindow->setWindowIcon(QIcon(QString::fromUtf8(":/QTCanMonitor/Resources/car.png")));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

• Check out the case. AFAIK Qt resources paths are case-sensitive just like Unix (and unlike Window$ hence the troubles most users of that OS are facing with filenames... ).
• Is your widget a window (i.e a top level one, either main window, a dialog or a mdi sub window...)

Thanks all,

JPN's solution worked a treat
