setting custom Icon

Question

I am struggling with adding a custom icon to a QToolButton. I have a resource file(properly under RESOURCES in the .pro file): myResourceFile.qrc containing

/images
ICON_TEST.png

and code

dragButton = new QToolButton(this);
QString resourcePath = ":/images/ICON_TEST.png";
QPixmap pixIcon(resourcePath); //THE LINE THAT GIVES THE ERROR!
dragButton->setIcon(QIcon(pixIcon));

I get the error:

no match for call to QPixmap(QString &)

How do I pass the proper path to the QPixmap object and then the object to setIcon()?

edit: Just confirmed that the .png file exists and is recognized by Qt:

File exists - true   ":/images/ICON_TEST.png" 

with:

 qDebug()<<"File exists -"<<QFileInfo(":/images/ICON_TEST.png").exists()<<" "<<
              QFileInfo(":/images/ICON_TEST.png").absoluteFilePath();

EDIT WITH SOLUTION: below as answer

Question remains, why this happened? The variable pixIcon is declared in the .h file of the class as:

QPixmap pixIcon;

and assigned a value in the constructor:

 pixIcon(resourcePath);

Which to me seems to be almost equivalent to doing it in one line.

This was on Windows Vista with Qt Creator 2.0.

For some reason, when doing everything in one line it worked as it should have:

 dragButton->setIcon(QIcon(QPixmap(resourcePath)));
