How to access files specified in a .qrc file from the c++ code?

Question

I created a .qrc file in Qt 5.0.1:

<RCC>
<qresource>
    <file>105.ico</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

and I edited my .pro file:

RESOURCES += \
Icons.qrc

when I use the code below in my class constructor icon doesn't appear

 this->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":105.ico"));

but when I give a local file address instead of ":105.ico" icon shows up. what is the problem?

It should be:

this->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/105.ico"));

(Note the slash)

it doesn't work. my icon is located in the main directory of pro and qrc file. but it doesn't show up. – Aidin.T May 15 '13 at 10:42
@Aidin.T Have you done a full rebuild since adding it to the `qrc`? – cmannett85 May 15 '13 at 10:47
