customizing QScrollbar

[MarkoSan]

Hi to all!

I subclassed QScrollBar but now I have two questions:

1. How do I repaint slider with some texture (I've made texture using photoshop and converted it to .png file)
2. How do I repaint both arrows with custom shape/custom picture?

Is it right way to reimplement paintEvent()?

The answer is: don't subclass but use style sheets.

Ok, but I want to do it hard way!!!!!

Well, good luck. Take a look at QScrollBar::paintEvent() implementation. It's all done with styles. You might be able to change the background brush with palettes but for custom arrow controls you'll need a custom style. At least if you want to do it the right way (tm).

I used style sheet, but it does not look very good, and also examples in qt documentation don't seem enough. http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/stylesh...ing-qscrollbar

Do you have any good examples of style sheet applied on QScroolBar?

Thanks.

Do it using a QStyle, it is hard enough.

Do you have any suggestion for changing the appearance of QScrollBar?

Reimplement drawComplexControl and watch out for CC_ScrollBar
