How to change background color of QTableWidget horizontalHeaderItem?

[cutie.monkey]

Hi! I'm trying to change the background color of my QTableWidget horizontal header item but it's not working.



QTableWidgetItem *tblCol1 = new QTableWidgetItem("Column 1");
tblCol1->setBackground(Qt::red);
tableWidget->setHorizontalHeaderItem(0, tblCol1);


Is there other way to do this?

thanks..

Works fine here.
#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include <QTableWidget>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication a(argc, argv);

QTableWidget tableWidget(2,2);
QTableWidgetItem *tblCol1 = new QTableWidgetItem("Column 1");
tblCol1->setBackground(Qt::red);
tableWidget.setHorizontalHeaderItem(0, tblCol1);
tableWidget.show();

return a.exec();
}

I've tried to compile the same source code in WINDOWS and LINUX(Ubuntu) using Qt 4.6.1 but both are not working..:confused:

That screen shot is from a Debian Sid box running Qt 4.7 Beta 1. I just tried it on Windows XP running Qt 4.6.2 and the background wasn't changed. :confused: indeed!
