Hi, I guess you have a designer. If so, just add a button from the designer and just connect it to a slot as the following;

Code:

---

connect( yourClearButton, 
             SIGNAL(clicked()),
             this,
             SLOT(clearButtonClickedSlot()) );

---

and just implement the SLOT

Code:

---

void Foo::clearButtonClickedSlot()
{
     mUi->yourLineEdit->setText("");
}

in this case you can simply use one connection

Code:

---

connect( yourClearButton, 
             SIGNAL(clicked()),
             mUi->yourLineEdit,
             SLOT(clear()) );

;)

but I think author needs clear-button like aamer4yu suggested.

Oh I didn't know the clear thing..you're right.

By the way, right about the last comment of yours as well I guess.

Sorry..that is not the case. I am asking about how to add a clear button to a QLineEdit using cascading style sheets. So that I can display the clear button on the lineedit in the hover state.

You will need to make your custom widget.
Also the link I gave before,, the code link seems to be invalid now...:(
