I would like to know how is wireshark icons are displayed on GUI using QT. The code where the png or related files are read and displayed when we execute Wireshark exe. The images are present under ../image/ folder.

Ex: wsicon16.png and so on images.

I am using Wireshark-3.2.6 base code, built on Windows 10.

Thank you.

Not a "how" but here's the "where":
README.adoc

The image directory README refers to

stock_icon.cpp

main_window.cpp

stock_icon_tool_button.cpp

Thanks Chuckc, for providing the point where the image formats are used. I could also find that the image formats are converted to .h files automatically and stored in files like (qrc_wsicon.cpp and qrc_wsicon_CMAKE_.cpp) in ui\qt\qtui_autogen\EF4ICWSDIF folder. These are generated during build automatically, after which QT using these to render it.

I would like to know how these images are converted automatically into .h files using autogen. Thank you.
