    Default Qt5/C++ - QComboBox - change currrent text color and the dropdown text colour

    Qt Creator 3.6.1 - Based on Qt 5.6.0 (MSVC 2013, 32 bit) - Windows 10

    Hello,

    Qt Code:
    1. qApp->setStyleSheet("QGroupBox, QComboBox, QRadioButton, QPushButton, QLabel, QLineEdit"
    2. "{ color: blue }"); // text colour
    3.  
    4. ui->myComboBox->setStyleSheet("QListView { color: blue; }");
    5. ui->myComboBox->setStyleSheet("QComboBox { background-color: white }");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    I'm trying to set the text colour and the dropdown list text colour on a QComboBox.
    I tried changing the order and it seems that the last setStyleSheet is the one that takes effect.
    How do I apply both to the QComboBox?

    Regards

    The last two are obviously exclusive, since the stylesheet in line 5 overwrites the one set in line 4.

    Are you saying that the rule set in line 1 and the rule set in line 5 are not both active?

    Cheers,

    Hello anda_skoa,

    Thanks for your reply,

    The last two are obviously exclusive
    I gathered that from my test.

    I can get lines 1 & 5 working.
    I can get lines 1 & 4 working.

    What I would like to is get line 1 and lines 4 & 5 working together.
    I can't work out the syntax required.

    Regards

    You need to combine the two strings into one.

    Two calls to a setter function will always result in the second value being the current value.

    Hello,

    Many thanks, this seems to work.

    Qt Code:
    1. ui->myComboBox->setStyleSheet("QComboBox { background-color: white }" "QListView { color: blue; }");
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    Regards
