Loading icon for toolbar from file

[luafox]

Hello,

I have a very simple question which bugs me a lot. I would like to add
a
number of icons to QToolBar but I have problems getting them to
display.

I tried the following code:

require'qtcore'
require'qtgui'

[...]

local testicon = QPixmap("C:\Program
Files\Lua\lqt\test\Theme\default\test.bmp")
--testicon = QIcon(testicon)
local test2 = QIcon("C:\Program Files\Lua\lqt\test\Theme\default
\test.png")

local toolbar = QToolBar()
toolbar:addAction("Hello")
toolbar:addAction(testicon,"Test")
toolbar:addAction(test2,"Test2")

[...]

But the icon is not displayed. The first text button ("Hello")
displays fine,
the second one (testicon) displays as a square icon but is completely
empty
and the third one (test2) looks like the first one with different
text. Can
you give me a short hint on how to load the icon correctly?

Thank you very much!
Michael

The problem may be in the paths in the string literals. Lua treats backslash in strings as an escape character (as in C). Therefore "\test" is treated as a tab character followed by "est". Either double all backslashes "\\" or switch to forward slash "/" (it works also in Windows).

Thanks. I think I was to focused on the question whether to use QIcon or
QPixmap and whether you need to do something magic to convert the file format
that I did not see this.

Thanks, it works now!
