QPaintEvent on button click?

[vishal.chauhan]

Hi All,

I m using Qt 4.1.5 on my Mac.
I have a paintEvent which is called itself when I create the object of the class having paintEvent().

Now I want to call the paintEvent on a Button click which is in another class because I m filling the color in the rect on paintevnt and I want to see it column by column.

But if it is called in the constructor then the whole rect are fill when screen comes up so I want this to be done on button click.

If any body knows then plz help me.

thanks.

You can subclass a QLabel and append the clik event how you like.

void FullEdit::PaintDirtyStatus( bool e )
{
    QString textd = "nulltext overwrite";
    QPixmap pix(140,22);   ///// take from label
    if (e) {
    pix.fill(QColor("crimson"));    /* red */
    textd = tr("Upload Pending.");
    } else {
    pix.fill(QColor("lime"));         /* green */
    textd = tr("Not Upload.");
    }
    QPainter painter(&pix);
 
    QColor textColor = QColor(255,255,255);
    QPen pen;
    pen.setStyle( Qt::SolidLine );
    pen.setColor(textColor);
    QFont f( "arial", 8, QFont::Bold );
    painter.setFont( f );
    painter.setPen( pen);
    QFontMetrics fm = painter.fontMetrics();
    int largo = fm.width(textd);
    painter.drawText(QPointF((pix.width() / 2) - (largo / 2),15),textd);
    dirtystartus->setPixmap(pix);   /* label */
 
}

void FullEdit::PaintDirtyStatus( bool e )
{
    QString textd = "nulltext overwrite";
    QPixmap pix(140,22);   ///// take from label
    if (e) {
    pix.fill(QColor("crimson"));    /* red */
    textd = tr("Upload Pending.");
    } else {
    pix.fill(QColor("lime"));         /* green */
    textd = tr("Not Upload.");
    }
    QPainter painter(&pix);
    
    QColor textColor = QColor(255,255,255);
    QPen pen;
    pen.setStyle( Qt::SolidLine );
    pen.setColor(textColor);
    QFont f( "arial", 8, QFont::Bold );
    painter.setFont( f );
    painter.setPen( pen);
    QFontMetrics fm = painter.fontMetrics();
    int largo = fm.width(textd);
    painter.drawText(QPointF((pix.width() / 2) - (largo / 2),15),textd);
    dirtystartus->setPixmap(pix);   /* label */
   
}
