QStandardItem background color with Stylesheets enabled

[hubbobubbo]

Hi

I have a class that inherits QStandardItem and I put the elements in a QTreeWidget. The class receive notifications from the outside and I want to change the background color of the item based on what happened.

If I do not use stylesheets it works just fine, like this:

void myClass:nExternalEvent() { setBackground(0, QColor(255,0,0))); }

However as soon as I put a stylesheet on the QTreeWidget this has no effect, the stylesheet seems to override the setBackground call.

So I tried : void myClass:nExternalEvent() { this->setStyleSheet("background-color: red"); }

but this is probably all wrong, it changed the color of some other element on my screen, not sure why.

So anyone have an idea on how I can alter the background color like with setBackgroundColor but still be able to use stylesheet on my QTreeWidget?

Could you give contents of your stylesheet, it will help to see what exactly it is applying to your app ?
