Prevent QStyledItemDelegate from drawing focus rectangle

I would like to prevent my derived QStyledItemDelegate from painting the focus rectangle.

I have achieved this before using a QItemDelegate by overriding its drawFocus function and doing nothing.

However QStyledItemDelegate does not implement drawFocus. Is there another way to prevent the QStyledItemDelegate from not painting the focus rectangle?

In the paint function of your custom QStyledItemDelegate class -

Code:

---

QStyleOptionViewItem newOption = option;
newOption.state = option.state & (~QStyle::State_HasFocus);
QStyledItemDelegate::paint(painter,newOption,index);

Beautiful!

Thanks, aamer4yu.

Hi,

please also note our search function, because this question is asked every month...

But why I am replying is, because I wonder what is "better" or if there is a significant difference between
making a local copy of option as above
and
casting the const of option away?
