QLineEdit not respecting setBackgroundRole?

[kevbru]

Hello,

I'm trying to get a sequence of QLineEdit object to alternate background colors, but the QLineEdit seems to not respect the setBackgroundRole, and instead always use QPalette::Base. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Kevin

I don't think setBackgroundRole does anything any more. But you can set the background color using style sheets. For example,

lineEdit->setStyleSheet("background-color:palette(window)");

lineEdit->setStyleSheet("background-color:palette(window)");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

uses QPalette::WindowRole for the background.
