    Default Changing QStyleOptionButton (QCheckbox) to use StyleSheet not working????

    HI,

    I am trying to use a style sheet to change a QStyleOptionButton to work as a QCheckBox but display with my own checked/unchecked indicators. I have had success setting the stylesheet on normal checkboxes but in this case I need to use a QStyleOptionButton and this doesnt seem to work? My code is as follows:

    Qt Code:
    1. //m_checkBoxRect is previously setup
    2. m_checkboxRect.setY(rect.height() / 2 - m_checkboxRect.height() / 2);
    3.  
    4. QCheckBox* styledCheckBox = new QCheckBox();
    5. styledCheckBox->setGeometry(m_checkboxRect);
    6. styledCheckBox->setCheckState(m_checkboxState);
    7. styledCheckBox->setStyleSheet(
    8. "QCheckedBox::indicator:unchecked { image: url(:/Resources/indicator_off.png);}"
    9. "QCheckedBox::indicator:checked { image: url(:/Resources/indicator_on.png);}"
    10. "QCheckedBox::indicator:indeterminate { image: url(:/Resources/indicator_partial.png);}"
    11. );
    12.  
    13. option.initFrom(styledCheckBox);
    14. option.rect = m_checkboxRect;
    15.  
    16. style()->drawControl(QStyle::CE_CheckBox, &option, painter, this);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    All I seem to get back is an unchecked checkbox which doesn't respond to my mouse presses.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this wont work, or perhaps another route??

    I managed to find a solution to this.

    By simply drawing the pixmap rather than the control element I am able to produce th desired results. The mouse press event for the parent widget can allow me to detect mouse clicks over the m_checkboxRect area and therefore maintain the checked state.

    Qt Code:
    1. switch (m_checkboxState)
    2. {
    3. case Qt::Checked:
    4. option.state = QStyle::State_On;
    5. indicatorPixmap = QPixmap(":/Resources/indicator_on.png");
    6. break;
    7. case Qt::Unchecked:
    8. option.state = QStyle::State_Off;
    9. indicatorPixmap = QPixmap(":/Resources/indicator_off.png");
    10. break;
    11. case Qt::PartiallyChecked:
    12. option.state = QStyle::State_NoChange;
    13. indicatorPixmap = QPixmap(":/Resources/indicator_partial.png");
    14. break;
    15. default:
    16. break;
    17. }
    18.  
    19. style()->drawItemPixmap(painter, m_checkboxRect, 0, indicatorPixmap );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
