Set text color for menu item

[stella1016]

Hello,

I want to set different color for the menu item. I know there is stylesheet and palette which can be used. But I failed to find the solution. Anyone knows?

My code is like below:


QAction *show_XZ_action = new QAction("Show XZ plane", this);
show_XZ_action->setCheckable(true);
....

gl_menu->addAction(show_XZ_action);

What stylesheet or palette did you try ?

I want to do it like:



QColor XZCol(150, 0, 150);
QPalette palette = show_XZ_action->palette();
palette.setBrush(QPalette::WindowText, QBrush(XZCol));


But show_XZ_action is not a widget, not palette() function...

But show_XZ_action is not a widgetBut QMenu is. Try to applay your palette to your menu.

But QMenu is. Try to applay your palette to your menu.

The problem is, I don't want to set color for all items in the menu, but only one item with color. How can I do this?

You can get the menu for action by QAction::menu ()
Then I guess you can do it ?

You mean like this:


QAction *show_XZ_action = new QAction("Show XZ plane", this);
show_XZ_action->setCheckable(true);
....
gl_menu->addAction(show_XZ_action);
....
QColor XZCol(150, 0, 150);
QPalette palette = show_XZ_action->menu()->palette();
palette.setBrush(QPalette::WindowText, QBrush(XZCol));
....


It has runtime errors in line "QPalette palette = show_XZ_action->menu()->palette();"
