Label & Button with Graphic

[outwest]

I need some Help with displaying an image (png, jpeg…etc) in a Label and a Button

I Looked at, and tried a dozen approaches from the samples/tut’s and internet but, no luck! Shouldn’t be this difficult… Seems quite a few folks have this same trouble.

Coming to QT (Creator) from Java/C++… many others. My usual approach to learn is by similarity via taking a basic idea of a Window with a Button and some Labels and go from there.

[in Java, it’s as simple as label.setIcon(…) ]

Using QT5/Creator.

Any suggestions appreciated, Thanks

Here’s the code:

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
ui->label->setText("<b><i>M</i></b>eow!"); // this works
ui->lcdNumber->display(("35807.4")); // this works

 // does NOT work------------
ui->pushButton->setIcon( the path to the file?);
 //--------------------------

// does NOT work------------
ui->label_2->.... a lot of trials and errors
//--------------------------

// does NOT work------------
QPixmap myPixmap ("<img ':/Users/bruce/Programming/QT/Proj_myQT/myTest2/aaa.png' /> some text");
ui->label_2->setPixmap(myPixmap);
ui->label_2->show();
// -------------------------

}//end MainWindow

@outwest said in Label & Button with Graphic:

ui->pushButton->setIcon( the path to the file?);

And what is the path? Is it correct?

This is not a valid path to an image file:

QPixmap myPixmap ("<img ':/Users/bruce/Programming/QT/Proj_myQT/myTest2/aaa.png' /> some text");

Change it to

QPixmap myPixmap ("/Users/bruce/Programming/QT/Proj_myQT/myTest2/aaa.png");

Yes, I tried that in one of the variations. After reading up on QT Resources and learning of the need to add/place the image file in a particular location with respect to QT, it now works.

Thank your for your quick response
