QFrame makes contents inaccessable.

[paie]

Well, it didn't take me long to get back in here.

I'm trying to create custom frames for some of my subclassed QComboBox and QLineEdit widgets.

But when I set the QFrame as a child of the widget, it does not show.

If I make it a child of the same parent as the widget, I can see the frame, but I can no longer access the contents of the widget.

What am I doing wrong?

From the docs:

The frame around the combobox can be styled using the box model

which is the same as a QPushButton.

Just for giggles use your style sheet string from the previous thread and change QPushButton to QComboBox:

setStyleSheet("QComboBox { "
                  "color:black;background-color:aqua;"
                  "background-color:"
                  "qlineargradient(x1:0,y1:0,x2:0,y2:1,"
                  "stop:0#eaebfe,stop:1#76878a);"
                  "min-width : 75; min-height : 15;"
                  "border-style:outset;border-width:2px;"
                  "border-radius4px;border-color:black; }"
                  "QComboBox:pressed {"
                  "color:white;"
                  "background-color:"
                  "qlineargradient(x1:0,y1:0,x2:0,y2:1,"
                  "stop:0#08080a,stop:1#66777a);"
                  "border:6pxsolidwhite;"
                  "border-style:inset;border-width:2px;"
                  "border-radius6px;border-color:white; }");

setStyleSheet("QComboBox { "
                  "color:black;background-color:aqua;"
                  "background-color:"
                  "qlineargradient(x1:0,y1:0,x2:0,y2:1,"
                  "stop:0#eaebfe,stop:1#76878a);"
                  "min-width : 75; min-height : 15;"
                  "border-style:outset;border-width:2px;"
                  "border-radius4px;border-color:black; }"
                  "QComboBox:pressed {"
                  "color:white;"
                  "background-color:"
                  "qlineargradient(x1:0,y1:0,x2:0,y2:1,"
                  "stop:0#08080a,stop:1#66777a);"
                  "border:6pxsolidwhite;"
                  "border-style:inset;border-width:2px;"
                  "border-radius6px;border-color:white; }");

WOW!!

Thanks AGAIN!!!

Great stuff!!

What a riot! Now I must do these tests from the command line to avoid rebuilding all the time.

One more thing. Thanks to the info I got from this thread and the last thread I posted, I've eliminated over a hundred lines of cruft.

Once you get the hang of style sheets, there's no other way to go.

And it preserves your look across platforms.

Many thanks.

Since you are a "grep'er" here is a hint:

grep  "\-stylesheet=" *

grep  "\-stylesheet=" *
