How can I use QMessageBox::About differently

HerrWinfried

How can I use it in a different way as I mentioned in the title.
I'm planning to do it in the form of the code below, but I couldn't.

  QMessageBox msgBox;
    msgBox.setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/image/52379312.png"));
    msgBox.setIcon(QMessageBox::About);
    msgBox.setWindowTitle(tr("About"));
    msgBox.setText(tr("Text_TEXT");
    QAbstractButton* xokey = msgBox.addButton(tr("Okey"), QMessageBox::YesRole);

What does this mean?

@HerrWinfried

Im not sure what you mean by different but for the code shown, don't you miss the part where you show it ?

Like
msgBox.exec();

Let me explain what I want to do, I want to use the code I mentioned above, but in a way that will run QMessageBox::About

So

QMessageBox::About(this, "Title", "Message")

I want to revert the code to this, but I don't know how to do it.

  QMessageBox msgBox;
    msgBox.setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/image/52379312.png"));
    msgBox.setIcon(QMessageBox::About);
    msgBox.setWindowTitle(tr("About"));
    msgBox.setText(tr("Text_TEXT");
    QAbstractButton* xokey = msgBox.addButton(tr("Okey"), QMessageBox::YesRole);
msgBox.exec();

I have no idea how to translate sorry for bad english.

Hi

You mean like this ?

   QMessageBox msgBox;
    msgBox.setWindowTitle(tr("Title"));
    msgBox.setText(tr("Message"));
    msgBox.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox::StandardButton::Ok);
    msgBox.setIcon(QMessageBox::Information);

@mrjj I wanted the "about(QMessageBox::)" one, but I guess it doesn't seem to exist. I think I will change the icons. thanks anyway

QMessageBox::about(this, "Title", "Message");

shows

It takes whatever icon of the working form file is, otherwise it will be empty.

@HerrWinfried
Ahh. you have this image set as a windows icon ?
Or where did you set it before showing the MsgBox ?

Just asking because I don't know, I know as QMessageBox::About

mrjj

@HerrWinfried
So you did not load this image your self at any point in the app ?

It just sort of get its some where ?

What platform are you on ?

update: ah it does take the Window icon.

@mrjj , @HerrWinfried
Not sure what exactly you two are debating. Have you looked at the source of QMessageBox::about()?

And it uses QIcon icon = msgBox->windowIcon();

    \property QWidget::windowIcon
    \brief the widget's icon
    This property only makes sense for windows. If no icon
    has been set, windowIcon() returns the application icon
    (QApplication::windowIcon()).

@HerrWinfried Customise QMessageBox with pixmap or icon

QMessageBox *infoMSG = new QMessageBox(this);
infoMSG->setMaximumSize(400,200);
infoMSG->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(167, 210, 219); color:rgb(0,0,0);");    
infoMSG->setIconPixmap(QPixmap(":/images/Green-true.png").scaled(QSize(30,30)));    
infoMSG->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/images/Admin-logo.png"));
infoMSG->setWindowTitle("Title");
infoMSG->setText("Message");
infoMSG->addButton(QMessageBox::Ok)->setMinimumSize(80,30);
infoMSG->buttons().at(0)->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(255,153,153);color:rgb(0,0,102);");
infoMSG->exec();
