Any how this problem solved the solution if anybody need it is

Code: Select all

	using std::string;
       	char szAppPath[MAX_PATH] = "";
       	string strAppDirectory;
       	::GetModuleFileName(NULL, szAppPath, sizeof(szAppPath) - 1);

this for getting the application file path

Code: Select all


strAppDirectory = szAppPath;
       	strAppDirectory = strAppDirectory.substr(0, strAppDirectory.rfind("\\"));
       	strAppDirectory =strAppDirectory+"\\vlc-Documents\\vlc16x16.png";

this for extracting directory

Code: Select all

 const char *p;
 p=strAppDirectory.c_str();

this for converting from string to char so you can assign it
To Qicon function if you need to change vlc icons.
