To Add Arrow Image on table header

Hi,

Could you please explain in steps how to proceed in adding a image to the table header columns.

I have a table with 2 header columns (Name, Address). when user sorts data in ascending order on Name column i need to add customized image( customized Up arrow image) next to Name header column.

Thanks.

This can do the job:

QTableWidgetItem* item = new QTableWidgetItem("Column Header Text");
item->setIcon(*(new QIcon("uparrow.png")));
table->setHorizontalHeaderItem(2,item);

You could try using a style sheet setting:

Source code

 
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

/* style the sort indicator */
 QHeaderView::down-arrow {
     image: url(down_arrow.png);
 }

 QHeaderView::up-arrow {
     image: url(up_arrow.png);
 }

Thanks,
It is working(But Partially)
it means when i am writing code like..

QHeaderView::section {

background-color: lightblue;

color: black;
}

I shows the changes.

But when i am doing like as...

/* style the sort indicator */
QHeaderView::down-arrow {
image: url(123.png); //123.png is local file
}

nothing is reflected on header.

Am i missing something???

Thanks.
