[phillip_Qt]

I need to apply frameShadow and framestyle to QLabel in a qss file.How to do that?
Plz help.

What seems to be the problem?
If you don't know how to apply your style sheet implemented in qss file you should do like this

QString labelStyle;
QFile file(":/images/Styles/LabelStyle.qss");
file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
labelStyle = file.readAll();
file.close();

QString labelStyle;
QFile file(":/images/Styles/LabelStyle.qss");
file.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly);
labelStyle = file.readAll();
file.close();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Why don't you just use QFrame::setFrameShadow (QFrame::Sunken) on your QLabel ?

Am not sure if this will help -

QLabel{ color: palette(shadow); }

also have a look at frameshadow topic

Hi. I applied in side qss file as

QLabel
{
QFrame::setFrameShadow (QFrame::Sunken)
}
still same problem.

Looks like you're out of luck in the sense that, by default, according to the docs:

Since 4.3, setting a stylesheet on a QLabel automatically sets the QFrame::frameStyle property to QFrame::StyledPanel.

Have you tried using a border? Something like:

QLabel
{
    border: 1px inset gray;
}

QLabel
{
    border: 1px inset gray;
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Or something similar?

aahhhh,,, u posted before me :P

I played with the stylesheet example in the QtDemo and made the following changes in code -

nameLabel->setFrameStyle(QFrame::StyledPanel);

nameLabel->setFrameStyle(QFrame::StyledPanel);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

and on running the application, i tried edit, and in the edit made the following change -

/* Mark mandatory fields with a brownish color. */
.mandatory {
    color: brown;
    border-width:2;
    border-style: inset;
 
}

/* Mark mandatory fields with a brownish color. */
.mandatory {
    color: brown;
    border-width:2;
    border-style: inset;

}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

finally something
by the way, Philip, ur questions will make everyone expert in using stylesheets

It may sound rude but are you familiar with Qt style sheets and Qt itself ?
What I wrote means that you should literally write in your program code. For instance

QLabel myLabel;
myLabel.setFrameShadow (QFrame::Sunken);

QLabel myLabel;
myLabel.setFrameShadow (QFrame::Sunken);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I hope it helps
