    Default QLineEdit, draw only text

    Qt 4.4.3, Windows XP
    I used 'search', but didn't find an answer...
    Well I need to tune drawing of QLineEdit (I'm subclassing it) so it paints only text (possibly selected) and flicking cursor. No background and no frame. I can disable background with
    Qt Code:
    1. QPalette p = palette();
    2. p.setBrush(backgroundRole(), QBrush(Qt::transparent));
    3. setPalette(p);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    but the thin blue line is still painted. In Qt's source there is:
    Qt Code:
    1. initStyleOption(&panel);
    2. style()->drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_PanelLineEdit, &panel, &p, this);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    So is it possible not to draw the frame without total reimplementation of paintEvent (it's rather huge )?
    thanks in advance.

    Added: sorry, I didn't notice the setFrame

    Default Re: QLineEdit, draw only text

    two possible options..either u can draw the frame QLineEdit is drawing with ur background color or u can create custom style..override primitiveElement and do nothing in case the primitive element is QStyle::PE_PanelLineEdit.
