How to make a popup widget that looks like a popup?

[Olivier Berten]

Popup widgets like menu and combo share a common look. How to give that look to a custom widget?

I tried reimplementing the paint event

def paintEvent(self, e):
p = QPainter(self)
option = QStyleOption()
option.initFrom(QMenu())
option.rect = self.rect()
self.style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PE_FrameMenu, option, p, self)
self.style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PE_PanelMenu, option, p, self)
But it isn't enough for styles like Oxygen or Bespin...

What am I missing?

Why you don't use the window flags?


yourWidget->setWindowFlags(Qt::Popup)

[Olivier Berten]

I do, of course, but that just removes the frame...

So what are you exactly trying to achieve ? the shadows ?

[Olivier Berten]

The similarity with other popups... whatever theme I use...

Concretely, what I miss in Bespin for instance is rounded corners and background image.

[Tondog]

For the background you can use the Qt Style Sheets.

expl:


QWidget{ background-image: url(:/yourImage.png) }

The problem is I want to make it style dependent (or independent, question of point of vue ;) )
I want it to have that fancy image with Bespin, that gradient with Oxygen and that flat gray with Cleanlooks.

[Tondog]

You can take the current style with QApplication::style () and then you can control what for a backroungimage you set.
Maybe we'll talk past each other :)

Then let's talk with pictures ;)

Here is my widget and I want it to have the same look as the menu at the bottom of the picture.

Anybody? Any lead?
