Convert QString to QColor ( "CR_RED" to QColor(CR_RED))

Convert QString to QColor ( "CR_RED" to QColor(CR_RED))

Is there any way we can convert a QString("CR_RED") that I am getting from XML file to color code or rgb string ?
Here is the code:
if(locked.tagName() == "objects")
{
QString colorName = locked.attribute("color","");
QString assetName = locked.firstChild().toText().data();
if(assetName.compare("switch")== 0)
{
for(int i=0;i<m_SwitchList->count();i++)
{
m_SwitchList->at(i)->SetSwitchLockedColor(colorName );
}
}
}

Here I need to pass colorName to SetSwitchLockedColor(), but colorName is QString. I need to convert it into QColor or rgb string.

hi @ndiwan

you can construct a QColor from QString
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcolor.html#QColor-5

Thanks. I used QColor.setNamedColor(QString.toLatin1()). It worked.

I am Sorry its not yet working.
I can use QColor::setNamedColor(QString) but it need rgb string. But I have normal QString("CR_RED").

Vice-verca is working.

QColor color = CR_RED;
QString rgbString = color.name();

Now I can use QColor::setNamedColor(QString) to convert rgbString to QColor.
But i want to convert QString("CR_RED") into QColor/rgb QString

Thanks

CR_RED

This is not a valid color name for QColor.setNamedColor(). You have to add your own parser for your color names.
