how to change QTextEdit background color ?

[mismael85]

hello,
i am trying to change the background color so i saw the documentation and used the following code

mainText->setAutoFillBackground(true);
	mainText->setPalette(QPalette(QColor(255, 250, 205)));

mainText->setAutoFillBackground(true);
	mainText->setPalette(QPalette(QColor(255, 250, 205)));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but the background still white.
how can i change the background color?
please help me.
and thank you.

mainText->setStyleSheet("QTextEdit { background-color: rgb(255, 250, 205); }");

mainText->setStyleSheet("QTextEdit { background-color: rgb(255, 250, 205); }");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Quite strange, stylesheet works...but the setPalette doesnt.

Is there some reason why setPalette doesnt work with QTextEdit ???

[mismael85]

style sheet works but the font is changed.
and i want to display the text with special font.
other thing please what is the class that "setStyleSheet" belongs?

Launch Qt Assistant and write "setStyleSheet" to the Index-tab.

Qt 4.4's QTextEdit also has setTextBackgroundColor(const QColor & color) and setTextColor(const QColor & color).

My code currently reads:

QPalette p( palette() );
p.setColor( QPalette::Base, c.currentColorScheme->getColorDef("dsWidgetBackground").getBackground() );
setPalette( p );

QPalette p( palette() );
p.setColor( QPalette::Base, c.currentColorScheme->getColorDef("dsWidgetBackground").getBackground() );
setPalette( p );

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And seems to work, but kinda ugly

It does have, but it sets only the background of number of chars int he QTextEdit. It doesnt render the whole background of QTextEdit

Ah, I see. Sorry about that.

[mismael85]

sorry, but the Qt assitante does not work with me .
because i compiled the Qt on dirve c: from a while.
but now i copied the Qt from c: drive to d:
and the assitante does not work for that reason.
and it says that the documentation file does not exist on c:, but it exists on d:.
i will copy the Qt on c: to be able to open the assitante.
and thank you.
