QTableWidget customize row colour

[THRESHE]

Hi everyone
I've encountered a problem while using sheets with Qt Designer. I try to set color for a row as a gradient like this

QTableWidget
{
	background-color: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1,
                                stop: 0 #ffffff, stop: 1 #ecf9ff);
}

QTableWidget
{
	background-color: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1,
                                stop: 0 #ffffff, stop: 1 #ecf9ff);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But instead of painting a row with this gradient it paints all rows from top to bottom with it like it is a solid piece

Well... if you ask the stylesheet to paint all widgets inheriting QTableWidget in such a way, it does exactly so. You didn't mention you wanted items or so... and besides, you can't style items in Qt 4.3 and older.

So it is impossible to fill each row of table widget with gradient ?

I didn't say that. Your stylesheet is incorrect. If you want to do it with stylesheets, you'll need Qt 4.4. If you want to do it without stylesheets - provide a custom delegate and do the painting there.

It's funny that it is possible to customze aternate row colour with gradient while it isn't possible to do it for ordinary row.

I think I wont be able to use delegates for this because I don't know how to implement them

It's really easy, try it. Subclass QItemDelegate and reimplement paint(). Fill the rectangle specified with your gradient and then call the base class implementation of drawDisplay(). You'll have something to start with...

Thanks I'll try it
