QT resource

What:

  QT resource. Package all binary resources into process to instead of the directory style. Then you can use all these resources like below:

  cutAct = new QAction(QIcon(":/images/cut.png"), tr("Cu&t"), this);

 

How:

  Two method to use:

  1. .qrc file

<!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>

Set up in .pro file:

RESOURCES = application.qrc

Init in application source code(optional):

Q_INIT_RESOURCE(graphlib);

  2. .rcc file, binary package

rcc -binary myresource.qrc -o myresource.rcc

Register in application source code:

QResource::registerResource("/path/to/myresource.rcc");
