Change icon program Qt

SGaist

Hi,

Do you mean the icon shown for your executable file ?

RIVOPICO

icon like add some resource to my file like any program you can see in internet add one resource in your file so you can add icon or anything resource you want.

SGaist

Any program ? That's really a bit broad from your description.

Can you maybe show what you want to achieve using one or more images ?

RIVOPICO

it's only like any program to change icon like

It's something to change the icon of my pictures,etc... but did in qt. These application's add in the resources and include like icon so the icon change. So i was trying to do with one textview and one button. only that.

RIVOPICO

i think qt doesnt have the possibility to add one resource to one file not? not sure?

SGaist

So you want to implement a simpler version of ResourceHacker ?

If so, that's indeed outside of Qt's scope to go and toy into binaries and in this case it's highly Windows specific.

But one thing it is different i'm no ttrying to do resource hacker ididnt know it but now icheck it i'm trying that in my project change the icon i can change the icon but if i the version compiled i can't change my icon so i was trying some way to change my icon with the project in qt including the resource or something to my file. I have the program i can change the icon with my ide but i'm asking about if you know other way possible.

The executable icon is not contained in Qt's resources. It's something platform specific.
