    [quote author="SGaist" date="1386002079"]Hi and welcome to devnet,

    Did you add:

    @QTPLUGIN += qico@

    to your pro file ?[/quote]

    [/quote]

    I have tryed to export the project to a .pro file and using QT Creator but I got other erros. I would like to keep using Visual Studio. Except for this error, I got no other problems with VS compiler.

    EDIT:
    And I am not if this parameter is the problem becouse "Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QWindowsIntegrationPlugin)" works great.

      Remove all "Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN" and add
      @QTPLUGIN += qico@
      to .pro file.

      EDIT:
      From my .pro files:
      @CONFIG += c++11 static
      INCLUDEPATH += $(QTDIR)\plugins\imageformats
      QTPLUGIN += qico@

        Ok, but how can I use a .pro file? SO far as I know, Visual Studio don´t using the .pro file for compiling the application.
        And there are no .pro, .pri or other Qt files in my project folder.

          I suggest you to use Qt Creator for developing but Visual Studio only for compilation. I think Creator is much more better for editing Qt sources.
          Qt Creator will make a .pro file for new project.

            Sorry but I am not satisfied with this answer. I have created my Application complete in VS. Until I switched to static version everything has worked correctly. And after switching to static I could import the windows plugin (Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QWindowsIntegrationPlugin)) without any problems.
            There must be a solution to do the same with ico plugin. If is it an issue, it should be reported and fixed.
            To switch an IDE each time if something doesn´t woks, it´s not a solution for me.

              Silly question but… Since you built Qt yourself, are you sure that you built the ico image format ?

                How can I check it in the build version?
                I have never said that I have built Qt by myself. I got it from a friend. It´s version 5.1.2 from the stable git repository. In the plugins/imageformats folder I got qico.lib and qicod.lib.

                  Then add the qico.lib to the project's "Additional Dependencies" option.
                  Right click on the project and click Properties. In the "Linker"-Section you can add the qico.lib file and set a "Additional Library Directories". So the Linker can find the symbols.

                    That how it looks like: "JPG":https://www.dropbox.com/s/gf0work3tdci24h/add_dep.JPG (German version)
                    It´s a screenshot of the debug settings, but the release settings looks similiar.

                      and $(QTDIR) points to the correct path? You can check if you click on the "Command Line" entry in the Linker section

                        If $(QTDIR) would be a wrong path, I would have many problems in the whole project. And the windows plugin works too.

                            I think I will try to make a static build by myself. Maybe it will help.

                              Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN (QICOPlugin)

                              I have looked in qicod.lib and have found qt_static_plugin_QICOPlugin function symbol.

                                Which libraries did you link with to get this to work? I'm trying to clear up a small hand full of linker errors with qwindows.lib.

                                    Hello Qt-Community,

                                    I go a unsolved problem. I couln´t find a solution in google or in the forum so I have to ask here.

                                    I want to compile a static version of my program for privat use but I got the following problem:
                                    I see no icons in my application, as a solution I have found "this":http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/13367 thread.
                                    So I have added "Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qico)" in my main.cpp.
                                    @#include <QApplication>
                                    #include <QtPlugin>

                                    Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QWindowsIntegrationPlugin)
                                    Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qico)@

                                    If I try to compile, I get this error:
                                    @main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol ""struct QStaticPlugin const __cdecl qt_static_plugin_qico(void)" (?qt_static_plugin_qico@@YA?BUQStaticPlugin@@XZ)" in function ""public: __thiscall StaticqicoPluginInstance::StaticqicoPluginInstance(void)" (??0StaticqicoPluginInstance@@QAE@XZ)".@

                                    My Dev system:
                                    Visual Studio 2012, Windows 7 x64.
                                    Under Linker-> Input I have added "qico.lib" and all other necessary libs as additional dependencies.
                                    Without "Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(qico)" I can compile my application and it´s works fine.

                                    i got this message from CONFIG+=static

                                    the problem is that StaticqicoPluginInstance is nowhere in the 5.4 package. it has no qico.lib

                                      Hi and welcome to devnet,

                                      You won't find this file in a Qt package as they only provide dynamic libraries. If you want a static Qt you'll have to build it yourself. Be aware of the licensing issues that comes with it.
