Getting a QIcon from a QCursor

james b-s

I have a QCursor and I'm trying to get a QIcon from it.

  const auto cursorShape = Qt::CursorShape::ArrowCursor;
  QCursor cursor(cursorShape);
  const QPixmap pixmap = cursor.pixmap();
  QIcon qIcon(pixmap);

After that, the qIcon seems to contain null and when I try to use it, I don't get an icon.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

where and how do you use it?

Hi,

From the documentation: This is only valid if the cursor is a pixmap cursor. which is not the case here.
