    How can I dynamically change the color of a QFrame border (shape = box, shadow = plain) ?

    You can use QPalette for this.

    Does a QFrame have Disabled, Active and Inactive states that can be set to change its color or is changing the palette the only way to do this?

    Thanks

    Use QPalette::setColor(ColorGroup gr, ColorRole r, const QColor & c) where the color group is one of the following:
    • QPalette::Disabled
    • QPalette::Active
    • QPalette::Inactive
    • QPalette::Normal

    Experiment. There is a preview if you use Designer. There is also another possibility if you use 4.2 - String (aka Style) Sheets.

    Under Vista+Qt 4.4.1, QPalette is not functional for this. Use frame->setStyleSheet("color:red") to change the border color.
