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.
