Selection Background Color style sheet NO EFFECT

[vishalrocks101]

hi,

I have designed a Ui using Qt designer In which I have used QPushButton .
I am setting the style sheet of this button using designer to selection-background-color: rgb(0, 170, 255);

But the problem is there is no effect of this style on button, only white border appears around it which is very faint.
So what is the problem,,?? is this a BUG in Qt ??. As i have searched for it but unable to get satisfactory result.
has anybody got this problem..???

Regards,
Vishal.

hi vishal,

Have you tried to use the stylesheet in the Qt creator IDE instead of designer?
I am using the stylesheet in creator IDE and donot face any problem. One more thing regarding the white border around the button may be shown because the focus is set on that button in the form.

For removing the focus you can use focus policy option.

hope this might helps you.

hi Mehul,

Thanks for reply ,, I want that focus color to be some another color, than white border .. because as i said it is very faint and when i select another button on that form using navigation key ,its not visible which widget is under focus on that form.

For ex : suppose on any symbian nokia mobile in my case n72 when we r in menu and want to select some application we navigate using navigation key and we can see background of that icon highlighted. I want that same effect.

Hi vishal,
using a focus policy properties of the widget you can set focus to storng.Check the properties in creator or you can set it programatically

Hi Mehul,,

I have done that change and checked it but on emulator 3rd edition Fp2 it has no effect and on device N95.
But it shows this border dark white which is visible in E72 so its device dependent ??

I remember it was a bug on Symbian style not using stylesheet colors for buttons. Try to run your app with -style=win key or compile it for desktop, to see how it works with other styles.

Hi !

use this StyleSheet :

QPushButton::focus {
	background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
}

QPushButton::!focus {
	 // other color
}

Hi Zombieisme

Thanks for reply ,, I have used above style sheet and whn focus is on that button its color changes to the specified color...
But the problem still remains see below is the style which i am implementing and it show no effect same light border which is faint...

QString style;
style +="QPushButton::focus{border-color: rgb(0, 85, 255);}";
style +="QPushButton{border-image: url(:/new/prefix1/Images/image.bmp);}";
style +="QPushButton{border:3px solid green;}";
style +="QPushButton{ border-radius: 11px;}";
style +="QPushButton{border-width: 4px;}";

ui.pushButton->setStyleSheet(style);

What i want is when there is focus or when we navigate over button using soft keys its border should be highlighted with any specified color ...SO IS THIS POSSIBLE ??? Can we change COLOR OF FOCUS

Sorry, my English is not good so I do not really understand what you want. You may also find this stylesheet:

QPushButton::pressed{border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);}

hi,

See what i want is ,,,that ,, the focus color to be changed not button color ...

Because once we place image on button below style has no effect
QPushButton::focus {
background-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);
}

Only we can see white light border around the button when it is under focus . So is this possible to change this focus color ???

To control the focus rectangle of the button you have implement QWindowsStyle.
I have not tried to change the color of the focus rectangle but with the code below makes me focus rectangle of the button never appeared. Try to work with it, hope you will find a way to solve your problem.

class NewStyle : public QWindowsStyle
	{
public:	
	void drawControl(ControlElement , const QStyleOption *,
		QPainter *, const QWidget *  ) const;
       }

void NewStyle::drawControl(ControlElement element, const QStyleOption * option,
						   QPainter * painter, const QWidget * widget = 0 ) const
{    
        if(element == CE_PushButton)
        {
        const QStyleOptionButton *b = qstyleoption_cast<const QStyleOptionButton *>(option);
                QStyleOptionButton *btn = (QStyleOptionButton *)b;
                if (btn) {
                        if (btn->state & State_HasFocus) {
                                btn->state = btn->state ^ State_HasFocus;                            
                        }
                }
                QWindowsStyle::drawControl(element, btn, painter, widget);
        }
        else
        {
                QWindowsStyle::drawControl(element, option, painter, widget);
        }
}

button->setStyle( new NewStyle() );

Ps: If you succeed, please share your results with everyone.
Thanks !!

Rather than change the focus color, why not turn off the focus rectangle and change the border color?

Hi danhicksbyron,

As far as I know Cahnging border color only changes border color and works if button is not having any image .. And Once we place image on Button ie Border Image . Changing border color will have no effect.
