Tree View Item selected rectangle

[LynneV]

Hello - can anyone tell me what style element controls the drawing of the dotted border around the item in a TreeView when the item is selected? I need to change the left edge of the rectangle and I can't figure out what controls the size! I have an Item Delegate already and have overridden the Paint function... this is the only piece left. Thanks in advance for any help.

The dotted border is the focus frame...
so if you disable the QStyle::State_HasFocus flag, you wont get the dotted border. You can then draw your own rect then

Thanks so much for your quick reply. I understand the theory behind your answer, and sorry to be dense.... but how do you disable this flag? I thought I could interrogate QStyle::State_HasFocus using the StyleOption passed into the Paint function and then just put in my own drawPrimitive for the focus rectangle. But I don't ever get a "true" on State_HasFocus. Not sure of another way to turn of the default drawing and do my own. Or pass it a different rectangle. Do you have another suggestion to try?
