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().

hello Andre
sorry for sending the question again...
how can i set backgroundImageUrl in each cell in calender…Actually i had use QTextCharformat for doing that but it not work..code i hv written is..
@QTextCharFormat format;format.BackgroundImageUrl;@
My question is how can i set image url here….any clue please suggest..
thanks -
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
i had implement ur code like this..
@QUrl url = QUrl::fromEncoded("http://baytrail.abag.ca.gov/vtour/map4/access/CyteHils/Trail_to_Red_Hill_Summit.JPG");
safedate.setProperty(QTextCharFormat::BackgroundImageUrl,QVariant(url));//safedate is an object of QTextCharFormat ui->calendarWidget->setDateTextFormat(QDate(2011,4,19),startdate);@but its not working..is anything missing here

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.

Anshuman[/quote]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... -

[quote author="imrrk" date="1303207582"]hey volker through paintcell method can we add image to the particular cells in calendarwidget..
[/quote]You know the meaning of the sign "?", don't you? If so, then please use it appropriately, if not, please look up in google.
And now, please read the documentation on QPainter. We will not do this for you, this is your part! It has all the information you need and to start playing around.
