I want QLabel which has text boundary(shadow)

[xylosper]

I want to make letters on label have boundary like drop-shadow for distance 0.

Is there any way to implement this?

Thanks for reading.

Reimplement paintEvent and draw the shadow using a gray semitransparent pen and then the letters.

If the label content is static, it will be easier to create it as a pixmap, and put it there in a designer.

Some help can you get using with QPushButton checkable & checked property.

I could implement by drawing text with double layer.
Thanks for replying.

I see the thread is quite old, but I'm trying to solve this problem as well. Could you explain what you meant by "drawing text with double layer"?

[wysota]

It means you first draw the shadow with an offset and then the regular text without the offset. Now you can also use QGraphicsDropShadowEffect effect on the label.
