Styling QMenubar???

[anupamgee]

hi all,
I want to style a Qmenubar. i want to make it transparent i.e it should take the background color of widget in which it is formed.i am using stylesheet for it .but it is not working..
i used the following code:

TabWindow::TabWindow(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent)
{
menubar=new QMenuBar(this);
fileMenu=new QMenu("File",this);
actionMenu=new QMenu("Actions",this);
menubar->addMenu(fileMenu);
menubar->addMenu(actionMenu);
menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: transparent");
}

TabWindow::TabWindow(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent)
{
menubar=new QMenuBar(this);
fileMenu=new QMenu("File",this);
actionMenu=new QMenu("Actions",this);
menubar->addMenu(fileMenu);
menubar->addMenu(actionMenu);
menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: transparent");
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

What to do??

Put your menu bar in the widget layout and it should work. Note that QWidget has by default no space for a QMenuBar like QMainWindow has it!

thnx for reply,
I tried this but it does nt work...........
I used this way

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent)
{      menubar=new QMenuBar(this);
fileMenu=new QMenu("File",this);
menubar->setGeometry(10,10,40,20);
actionMenu=new QMenu("Actions",this);
menubar->addMenu(fileMenu);
menubar->addMenu(actionMenu);
menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red);");
}

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent)
{      menubar=new QMenuBar(this);
fileMenu=new QMenu("File",this);
menubar->setGeometry(10,10,40,20);
actionMenu=new QMenu("Actions",this);
menubar->addMenu(fileMenu);
menubar->addMenu(actionMenu);
menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red);");
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But widget is not showing menubar
How to do??

You have a typo! Skip the ")".

menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red;");

menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red;");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I corrected that but still not showing the menubar
if i skip the line menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red;");
it shows the normal qmenubar.
what is the problem in setting stylesheet

It's because you have not put the menubar in a layout! If you don't want to do so call

menubar->adjustSize();

menubar->adjustSize();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

then the menu bar is shown. (Skip your geometry line.)
