How to use resource files without using .ui or form files in Qt?

[Swati777999]

Hi All,

I have a doubt about using resource files in Qt. How to use resource files without using .ui or form files? I don't want to implement the GUI part of Qt , so how can it be achieved?

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

@Swati777999 To use Qt Resource (.qrc) it is not necessary to use .ui. Your question is unclear.

I checked https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/resources.html for help but am not sure about the RCC version in the following XML codes. Can you provide more clarity on it?

<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file>images/copy.png</file>
<file>images/cut.png</file>
<file>images/new.png</file>
<file>images/open.png</file>
<file>images/paste.png</file>
<file>images/save.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

I checked this link: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/resources.html but I am not sure about which version of RCC to use in the first line. Can you provide more clarity on the following XML codes?

<!DOCTYPE RCC><RCC version="1.0">
<qresource>
<file>images/copy.png</file>
<file>images/cut.png</file>
<file>images/new.png</file>
<file>images/open.png</file>
<file>images/paste.png</file>
<file>images/save.png</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

As shown in the link you posted it should be "1.0"...

@eyllanesc even after using these codes for XML files, I can't find pics as logos for the icons. .. :( don't know where the problem lies.

[Swati777999]

@jsulm Yes, I put it in my code, still not getting the desired result; pic for the icon logos.. :(

Did you add it to your project file (.pro or CMakeLists.txt)?

please show your code snippet where you are using/retrieving the icons from the resource component.

@eyllanesc after successfully creating icons, i want to put the images for them and it's not done. :( My bad luck with Qt

Show what you've done so far. Have you added your rc-file to your project?
