Dear friends.... I am writing a database application with Qt 3.2 and SuSE 9.1. Each sales must write a report for the sales supervisor after the sales call a customer. one of the field in the report content a smiley (image file) to represent(describe) the reaction of the customer. The smiley field has content in the form of ascii art such as : ":(", ":-)", ":X" etc. The sales reports are displayed in QDataTable. But I want the sales supervisor does not see the ascii art but the corresponded image file which stored in a subdirectory of my database application. So my code should change for example ":)" into the file "1.png". I want to use this : void QDataTable::paintField ( QPainter * p, const QSqlField * field, const QRect & cr, bool selected ) [virtual protected] I plotted the QDataTable in a UI Form with QtDesigner. Is it possible to draw an image file into QDataTable with QLabel instead of QPainter ? If yes, how? I have second question, if the form an sql query (content ascii art like this : ":)" why this code comes with error ? QString noapp = noapplineEdit.text(); //nomor appointment QString sid = sidlineEdit.text(); //SalesID QString cid = cidlineEdit.text(); //Customer ID QString smiley = slineEdit.text(); //Smiley in ascii art QString report = rlineEdit.text(); //report dalam kalimat biasa QString reportsales = QString (insert into sales report(nomerappointment, salesid, custid, smiley, report) values('%1', '%1', '%1', '%1', '%1') .arg(noapp) .arg(sid) .arg(cid) .arg(smiley) .arg(report); In PHP I can use "\" so I make like this : $smiley = "\:)" but should I do in C++ (Qt)? Thank you very much in advance. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo! Mail - 100MB free storage! http://promotions.yahoo.com/new_mail
