Styling QMenubar???

hi all,
I want to style a Qmenubar. i want to make it transparent i.e it should take the background color of widget in which it is formed.i am using stylesheet for it .but it is not working..
i used the following code:

Code:

---

TabWindow::TabWindow(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent)
{
menubar=new QMenuBar(this);
fileMenu=new QMenu("File",this);
actionMenu=new QMenu("Actions",this);
menubar->addMenu(fileMenu);
menubar->addMenu(actionMenu);
menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: transparent");
}

---

What to do??

Put your menu bar in the widget layout and it should work. Note that QWidget has by default no space for a QMenuBar like QMainWindow has it!

thnx for reply,
I tried this but it does nt work...........
I used this way

Code:

---

Widget::Widget(QWidget *parent): QWidget(parent)
{      menubar=new QMenuBar(this);
fileMenu=new QMenu("File",this);
menubar->setGeometry(10,10,40,20);
actionMenu=new QMenu("Actions",this);
menubar->addMenu(fileMenu);
menubar->addMenu(actionMenu);
menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red);");
}

---

But widget is not showing menubar
How to do??

You have a typo! Skip the ")".

Code:

---

menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red;");

---

I corrected that but still not showing the menubar
if i skip the line menubar->setStyleSheet("background-color: red;");
it shows the normal qmenubar.
what is the problem in setting stylesheet

It's because you have not put the menubar in a layout! If you don't want to do so call

Code:

---

menubar->adjustSize();

---

then the menu bar is shown. (Skip your geometry line.)
