Style Sheet Problem

[zgulser]

Hi,

I want to know that is it possible to give a background color to the buttons inside a frame from the source code by not setting the style sheets of each button one by one. Notably, this background color should be set after a button is pressed! I type something like the following but it did not work!

myMainFrame.setStyleSheet(" QPushButtonressed{ background-color: red}");

Regards

I had a similar problem in a project I was working on recently.

try this code:

myMainFrame.setStyleSheet(" QPushButton:pressed{ background-color: red; border-style: outset; }");

myMainFrame.setStyleSheet(" QPushButton:pressed{ background-color: red; border-style: outset; }");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I had to set the border-style property in order to get the background colors to work at all in my stylesheet. HTH

Hi,

Thanks for your response but it doesn't work either

Try

QPushButton:pressed { background-color: red; border: none; }

QPushButton:pressed { background-color: red; border: none; }

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Hi,

Yes you're right THRES but unfortunately that's what I have been doing since 2 weeks.
I will try your solution and report back to you as soos as possible.

Hi,

Sorry for the late response, but it didn't work either.

Maybe you can try a different approach with setPalette(). The palette is inherited from the parent, so if you set the right palette of the frame that is equivalent to the palette that is applied on a pressed button it might work.

Hi,

I didn't try the palette because it should work by doing,

myMainFrame.setStyleSheet(" QPushButtonressed{ background-color: red; border-style: outset; }");

When I do it from the designer button by button it works OK but from my application's main method, it doesn't. More interestingly, border stuffs work but background-color.

Any more ideas?

Try this

button->setStyleSheet(
    "QPushButton {color:white; background:rgb(255,255,0); border-radius:10px; font:bold 16px; font-family:\"Arial\";}"
    "QPushButton:Pressed {padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 5px;}"
    );

button->setStyleSheet(
    "QPushButton {color:white; background:rgb(255,255,0); border-radius:10px; font:bold 16px; font-family:\"Arial\";}"
    "QPushButton:Pressed {padding-left: 5px; padding-top: 5px;}"
    );
