Modifying custom style, derived from QPlastiqueStyle to prevent rollover highlighting

[sternocera]

Hello,

I am developing a Qt for embedded Linux application to be used with a touchscreen. I'm using a custom style, derived from QPlastiqueStyle but with "chunky" scrollbars to ease use with a touchscreen.

It is inappropriate how QPlastiqueStyle has a rollover effect, given that this application will only ever be used with a touchscreen.

Is there a way to prevent the rollover highlight effect from appearing?

Thanks,
Sternocera

which element's rollover event are you talking about..whichever element it is..u can disable it by using "hover" property in stylesheets.

I am referring to QPushButton's "hover" events....when they take on blue highlights while the mouse cursor is rolled over. That's all I want to change.

I'm already using a custom style. Can I further extend it to suppress this hover behaviour?

try:


urPushButton->setAttribute(Qt::WA_Hover, false);

talk2amulya,

Hmm....I appreciate the suggestion, but that will create a lot of boiler plate that will have to be maintained for dozens of QPushButtons. I was hoping to achieve the same end by modifying my application's custom, QPlastiqueStyle derived style.

I realised that I could do what you've suggested for all widgets in my style:


void QMyStyle::polish(QWidget* widget) // re-implement virtual function from QStyle
{
widget->setAttribute(Qt::WA_Hover, false);
}

This works; the rollover effect disappears. However, I now have another problem: When I actually press a button, the blue highlighting "sticks" to it until it is re-drawn.

I have no idea why this might be. Do you?

maybe you have done certain stuff with QStyle::State_Sunken, if not, u can work on drawPrimitive() for your button and resolve the issue
