    if this function exists, try it out.
    have a look at the docs.

      [quote author="imrrk" date="1302766931"]hey andre as we have set the background colors for the cells can we set the backgroundimage for the cells...by using,

      QTextcharformat date;
      date.setbackgroundimageurl[/quote]
      Could you make your variable naming any more confusing? I mean: you're working with calendars and dates, and you call a variable that represents a text format date?

      Anyway, QTextCharFormat (or its base class QTextFormat) does not have a method setBackgroundImageUrl. At least, not that I could find. But you can use a QBrush instead of a color, so that opens up some more options as brushes can be quite fancy... Check the documentation of QBrush.

            The last reply here I moved over from "this":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/5296/ topic.

            imrrk/BorahAnshuman: please keep your topics in logical groups. It does not make sense to re-open a thread about how to format the dates in a QCalendarWidget in a topic that is about the relative performance of an application on device and in the simulator.

              If the background color of a cell is controlled by setBackground, then it did not occor to you to look into the documentation of setForeground?

              [quote]
              Sets the foreground brush to the specified brush. The foreground brush is mostly used to render text.

              See also foreground(), clearForeground(), and setBackground().

                    I think you will need to use something like this:"

                    @
                    QUrl imageUrl;
                    //set the url to some valid value
                    format.setProperty(QTextFormat::BackgroundImageUrl, QVariant(imageUrl));
                    @

                    But I don't think that will work, because the QCalendarWidget documentation states:
                    [quote]
                    Only a subset of the properties in QTextCharFormat are used by the calendar widget. Currently, the foreground, background and font properties are used to determine the rendering of individual cells in the widget.[/quote]

                    Seems like you can only use the QTextCharFormat for the simple stuff, not for the fancy stuff. If you need to put an image in a cell, you are going to need to subclass QCalendarWidget and reimplement paintCell to do the rendering of your cells yourself.

                        hello andre,have you observed in the qcalendarwidget,at first time it shows the currentdate,but when we select a different date ,their is no such marker which tells that it is a currentdate,i mean to say that the currentdate should be underlined so that when a user selects a different date ,the currentdate can be identified by the underlined mark.

                          What is missing, is that you did not read beyond the code snippet I posted. You know, the part that states that the code snippet is not going to work, as documented for QCalendarWidget, and that you need other ways of doing this.

                            So, why don't you set a different QTextCharFormat for the current date then? You can change the font using that class...

                                  Why don't you use the QCalendarWidget sources as inspiration for that?

                                      The signature of the method is:

                                      @
                                      QCalendarWidget::paintCell(QPainter *painter, const QRect &rect, const QDate &date)
                                      @

                                      So, I suggest you have a look at QPainter's drawImage(), drawPixmap() and drawPicture() methods.

                                        You know what? Perhaps you should look into this yourself. Did you look in the documentation for QPainter?
