no frame on Qlabel derived class

[tupu_83]

Hi all, I am trying to paint with QLabel derived widget and still get widgets frame to be visible. When there is a frame without a drawing function, the frame is shown correctly. The problem is that when I reimplement paintEvent method, the frame is not shown anymore.

class GameArea: public QLabel {
public:
	GameArea(QWidget *parent = 0);
	~GameArea();
 
protected:
    void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event);
};

class GameArea: public QLabel {
public:
	GameArea(QWidget *parent = 0);
	~GameArea();

protected:
    void paintEvent(QPaintEvent *event);
};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

label = new GameArea(Exercise2Class);
label->setFrameShape(QFrame::StyledPanel);

label = new GameArea(Exercise2Class);
label->setFrameShape(QFrame::StyledPanel);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

void GameArea::paintEvent(QPaintEvent * /* event */)
{
	QPainter painter(this);
	QPen pen;
	QBrush brush;
	pen.setColor(Qt::red);
	brush.setStyle(Qt::SolidPattern);
	brush.setColor(Qt::red);
	painter.setPen(pen);
	painter.setBrush(brush);
	painter.drawEllipse(rect().center(), 20, 20);
}

void GameArea::paintEvent(QPaintEvent * /* event */)
{
	QPainter painter(this);
	QPen pen;
	QBrush brush;
	pen.setColor(Qt::red);
	brush.setStyle(Qt::SolidPattern);
	brush.setColor(Qt::red);
	painter.setPen(pen);
	painter.setBrush(brush);
	painter.drawEllipse(rect().center(), 20, 20);
}

Hi,

To get something painted what is painted in the base class implementation of paintEvent(), you must call it:

void MyDerivedLabel::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
{
    QLabel::paintEvent(event); // <---
    QPainter painter(this);
    ...
}

void MyDerivedLabel::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* event)
{
    QLabel::paintEvent(event); // <---
    QPainter painter(this);
    ...
}
