how to add the image from resource file for background of the mainwindow

[ManiRon]

I want to add thge background image of QMainwindow and i want to add from the QRC file how can this be done ?

Image File should be in your qrc file
Do this in your constructor

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    QPixmap bkgnd("qrc:/images/xyz.png"); // rightt click on image in qrc to copy its path
    bkgnd = bkgnd.scaled(this->size(), Qt::IgnoreAspectRatio);
    QPalette palette;
    palette.setBrush(QPalette::Background, bkgnd);
    this->setPalette(palette);
}

For details have a look at this answer:How do I add a background image to the QMainWindow?

Hi
Right click the image and select the :/ syntax and see if that helps.
