[qt5] repainting qwidget

[zodiac]

Hello.


void dUpload::show( Qt::WindowFlags flags )
{
//setWindowFlags( flags );

setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground, true);

show();
}

After call setAttribute function from this code my qwidget doesn't repaint (i.e. I see artefacts from child widgets), but when I resize that widget, then it repaints.

Is it bug in qt5 or I do something wrong?

OS: win7 + msvs 2010.

What does your paint event look like?

[zodiac]

Firstly (when I created this topic) I didn't use paintEvent.
Now it is:

void dUpload::paintEvent( QPaintEvent *event )
{
QPainter p(this);
p.setCompositionMode(QPainter::CompositionMode_Cle ar);
p.fillRect(0, 0, width(), height(), Qt::BrushStyle::SolidPattern);
}
and this resolved my problem (artefacts goes away). But I think it's just hack :)

So why are you using the NoSystemBackground attribute?

So why are you using the NoSystemBackground attribute?
I need to make my widget glass-styled (windows 7), and for that I use this code:

void dUpload::show( Qt::WindowFlags flags )
{
setWindowFlags( flags );

//setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground, true); // 1
setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground, true); // 2

if ( QtWin::isCompositionEnabled() )
QtWin::extendFrameIntoClientArea( this );

show();
}
1 and 2 are equal, i.e. widget will be glassed, but not repainted.

UPD: screenshot when it doesn't repaint:

They are definitely not equal. (1) is wrong, (2) is correct.

They are definitely not equal. (1) is wrong, (2) is correct.

But widget also doesn't automatically repaint when (2) is activated.

It does repaint. It just doesn't paint its background.

Do you mean this is normal behaviour? But in qt4 I didn't see any artefacts.

Qt5 is still pre-beta, so I would expect glitches.

Ok, I thought such bugs can't be in beta (http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0/beta-snapshots/).

[wysota]

It's not beta, it's pre-beta. Besides I don't know if what you experience is a glitch or not. I'm just saying glitches are expected.
