Get style sheet properties in own widget

[Lykurg]

Hi,

how can an own widget (subclass of QWidget) gain the ":hover" settings from the style sheet? E.g.:

void MyOwnWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)
{
  QPainter p(this);
  p.drawText(rect(), Qt::AlignCenter, "foo bar");
}

void MyOwnWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*)
{
  QPainter p(this);
  p.drawText(rect(), Qt::AlignCenter, "foo bar");
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

gets the definitions from

MyOwnWidget
{
  color: #dddddd;
  font-size: 36px;
}

MyOwnWidget
{
  color: #dddddd;
  font-size: 36px;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but not from

MyOwnWidget:hover
{
  color: #ffdddd;
  font-size: 8px;
}

MyOwnWidget:hover
{
  color: #ffdddd;
  font-size: 8px;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

How could one fetch these settings? Any hints?

Thanks, Lykurg
