Leon

See screenshot and you will understand..

That's because there isn't any seticonvisible option
Any ideas?

Franzk

Set the icon on the menu action.

@QMenu *menu = ...;
menu->menuAction()->setIcon(icon);@

Leon

I have set it via the Qt Designer.

But as i said there isn't any seticonvisible option...

Franzk

Chances are that if you add the menu to the tool bar itself, you will see the icon. As I mentioned in my previous post, set the icon on the menu action explicitly in your code.

Leon

The same with this
ui>menuHere_no_icon_is_been_shown>setIcon(QIcon(":/icons/Icons/button_blue_fastforward.png"));

If you want download example project-> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11379868/example.zip

goetz

Did you add the icons to the resource file of the project?

andre

Doesn't it depend on the style if you can have an icon for a complete menu, not just for actions in a menu?

Leon

See clementine screenshot.

So Andre what i want, is used in other programs.. ( + Clementine is a qt app )

Volker yes the icons are on the resource file..

[/quote]Dude, reread my post and then fix to this:
@ui->menuHere_no_icon_is_been_shown->menuAction()->setIcon(QIcon(":/icons/Icons/button_blue_fastforward.png"));@

Leon

This is how to set the icon to be visible

@ ui->menuHere_no_icon_is_been_shown->menuAction()->setIconVisibleInMenu(1);
@

Problem Solved. Thanks Franzk..

goetz

This is kind-of wrong:

@
ui->menuHere_no_icon_is_been_shown->menuAction()->setIconVisibleInMenu(1);
@

this is better:

@
ui->menuHere_no_icon_is_been_shown->menuAction()->setIconVisibleInMenu(true);
@

Leon

Volker why is it wrong? Doesn't 1 mean true and 0 false? It does..

goetz

1 and 0 are of type int
true and false are of type bool

It is casted the right way, yes, but it is considered bad style in C++ (in C you do not have a type bool, so 0/1 is ok there).

Leon

Ok thank you Volker.. I didn't know it.

andre

Besides, it is much easier to read true and false than 1 and 0, IMHO.

Leon

I agree!
