highlighting a QPushButton

**qtUser500** · 8th July 2009, 17:09

- On MAC, I have a qPushButton with a background color. So essentially the whole button is of a certain color.

- When I tab to this button, I cannot see the button surrounded by a blue highlight as is normally the case when tabbing across widgets. The QPushButton is accessible from the keyboard i.e. I can press enter when I have tabbed to that button, but just can't see the highlight!

- Is there something that has to be set to push the background color into the 'background' so that the highlight can be seen?

To set the color I did the following:

Qt Code:

Switch view

myButton->setAutoFillBackground(TRUE);
	QPalette myPalette = myButton->palette();
	myPalette.setColor(QPalette::Button, Qt:Green);	
	myPalette.setColor(QPalette::Window,Qt:Green);
	myButton->setPalette(myPalette);

myButton->setAutoFillBackground(TRUE);
	QPalette myPalette = myButton->palette();
	myPalette.setColor(QPalette::Button, Qt:Green);	
	myPalette.setColor(QPalette::Window,Qt:Green);
	myButton->setPalette(myPalette);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

Thanks in advance
