Need some help re-painting a checkbox

[JimDaniel]

Hi, I'd like to replace the default checkbox with images of my own, but I'm having some difficulties. Just doesn't work, as if nothing is happening. Here is the code where I try to "catch" the checkbox and redraw, keep in mind I don't really know what I'm doing, just feeling my way:

void ResoStyle::drawControl(ControlElement control, const QStyleOption *option, QPainter *painter, const QWidget *widget) const
{
	switch (control) 
	{
		//replaces default CheckBox style with our own
	case CE_CheckBox:
		if(const QStyleOptionButton * checkOption = qstyleoption_cast<const QStyleOptionButton *>(option))
		{
			const QCheckBox * checkbox = qobject_cast<const QCheckBox *>(widget);
 
			QStyleOptionButton newCheckBox(*checkOption);
 
			QRect frame = newCheckBox.rect;
 
 
			painter->save();
			painter->setBrushOrigin(frame.topLeft());
 
			if(newCheckBox.state & State_MouseOver)
			{
				if(!checkbox->isChecked())
				{
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/disabled_hover.png"));
				}
				else
				{
					//draw the color of the current module class
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/personal_enabled.png"));
				}
			}
			else
			{
				if(!checkbox->isChecked())
				{
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/disabled_default.png"));
				}
				else
				{
					//draw the color of the current module class
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/personal_enabled.png"));
				}
			}
			painter->restore();
			QCleanlooksStyle::drawControl(control, &newCheckBox, painter, widget);
		}
		else
		{
			QCleanlooksStyle::drawControl(control, option, painter, widget);
		}
		break;

void ResoStyle::drawControl(ControlElement control, const QStyleOption *option, QPainter *painter, const QWidget *widget) const
{
	switch (control) 
	{
		//replaces default CheckBox style with our own
	case CE_CheckBox:
		if(const QStyleOptionButton * checkOption = qstyleoption_cast<const QStyleOptionButton *>(option))
		{
			const QCheckBox * checkbox = qobject_cast<const QCheckBox *>(widget);

			QStyleOptionButton newCheckBox(*checkOption);

			QRect frame = newCheckBox.rect;


			painter->save();
			painter->setBrushOrigin(frame.topLeft());
		
			if(newCheckBox.state & State_MouseOver)
			{
				if(!checkbox->isChecked())
				{
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/disabled_hover.png"));
				}
				else
				{
					//draw the color of the current module class
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/personal_enabled.png"));
				}
			}
			else
			{
				if(!checkbox->isChecked())
				{
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/disabled_default.png"));
				}
				else
				{
					//draw the color of the current module class
					painter->drawImage(frame, QImage("./Images/personal_enabled.png"));
				}
			}
			painter->restore();
			QCleanlooksStyle::drawControl(control, &newCheckBox, painter, widget);
		}
		else
		{
			QCleanlooksStyle::drawControl(control, option, painter, widget);
		}
		break;

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

One thing I'd also like to understand is, is this the best way to do something like this. Would I also be able to just override the paintEvent for the widget and redraw there just as well?

Thanks for any help you can give...

Are style sheets out of question..? I believe it would be pretty much straightforward to do with "pseudo states".

Yeah, I've thought about using style sheets, I may play with them and see what I can get. I was hesitant about shoe-horning them into my code though, as the rest of my code uses this QStyle. Thanks for the tip!
