QListView & backgroundBrush -> Houston we hv a problem

**travis** · 29th July 2006, 06:15

I am using QListView ( in IconMode ... QT 4.2 ). I need to have a QPixmap tiled over QListView Background ... some thing similar to what QGraphicsView's setBackgroundBrush() achieves ... can some one guide me plz ...

Thanx

If I have understood you correclty, then the following code should work.

Qt Code:

Switch view

QPalette pal;
pal.setBrush(QPalette::Window,QBrush(yourPixmapHere));
listView->viewport()->setPalette(pal);

QPalette pal;
pal.setBrush(QPalette::Window,QBrush(yourPixmapHere));
listView->viewport()->setPalette(pal);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I have not tested this one, so please let me know if this works or not.

For QListView it could be QPalette::Base and not QPalette::Window.
