Thanks for your reply.,

I did not add the text to any widgets.,

I want to add the text bottom right corner of the image ( like add copyright information to the image ) with drop shadow effect.

I have add the text like this


aPainter.drawText( aRect, Qt::AlignRight , inString );

aPainter draw the text in the given aRect location without any issues. But i want to add the dropShadow effect to the inString.

Anybody help me.

Thanks in advance.

The second answer at the link tells you that you achieve the 'drop shadow' effect by drawing the text twice with slight offset using a QPainter. The third answer shows the steps to draw text twice, (albeit embedded in the proxy style) showing how you might achieve the offset and hinting that you may wish to change the pen colour of the 'lower' layer.

It seems some confuse the words "idea" and "solution". In a similar fashion some confuse the words "implement" and "copy".
