Updating Status Bar Icon

[nbkhwjm]

In the setup function of my application I have:

//Connection Status Icon
	QLabel *test = new QLabel;
	test->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/not_connected_32x32.png"));
	test->setScaledContents(false);
	//test->setFrameShadow(QFrame::Plain);
	//test->setFrameShape(QFrame::NoFrame);
	test->setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
	ui.statusBar->insertPermanentWidget(0, test,0 );

//Connection Status Icon
	QLabel *test = new QLabel;
	test->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/not_connected_32x32.png"));
	test->setScaledContents(false);
	//test->setFrameShadow(QFrame::Plain);
	//test->setFrameShape(QFrame::NoFrame);
	test->setAlignment(Qt::AlignRight);
	ui.statusBar->insertPermanentWidget(0, test,0 );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This puts the correct Icon in the Status bar fine

My problem is updating it later, by function...

Here is what I have, but it is not working

void TestApp::updateStatusBarIcon(QString &statusIcon)
{
qDebug() << "Icon change" << statusIcon;
test1->setPixmap(QPixmap(statusIcon));
}

void TestApp::updateStatusBarIcon(QString &statusIcon)
{
qDebug() << "Icon change" << statusIcon;
test1->setPixmap(QPixmap(statusIcon));
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Any ideas how i can update the PIXMAP Icon on the statusBar?

TIA.

This seemed harder than it was. they key was to use QLabel in designer to create the LAbel with a Pixmap, then install it on the Status bar manually.

Once its there I could easily update it..

Example:

Install the icon on the status bar.

ui.statusBar->insertPermanentWidget(0, ui.statusIconLabel,0 );

ui.statusBar->insertPermanentWidget(0, ui.statusIconLabel,0 );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Then Update it from the Connection Status function by:

ui.statusIconLabel->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/connected_32x32.png"));

ui.statusIconLabel->setPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/connected_32x32.png"));
