QColorDialog problem

[alenn.masic]

Hi all

I have one button and textEdit and when user press that button, ColorDialog should appear and using stylesheet selected color should apply to all text in textEdit. I made the following code:


QColor color = QColorDialog::getColor(Qt::black, this);

edit->setStyleSheet(color.name()); (edit is QTextEdit)

but it's not working, ColorDialog appears, and I select color, but text in textEdit remains as it is. Can someone help me with this.

The QString returned by QColor::name() is not a valid style sheet. You want something like:

edit->setStyleSheet(QString("QTextEdit { color: %1; }").arg(color.name()));

edit->setStyleSheet(QString("QTextEdit { color: %1; }").arg(color.name()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

or you can use the QColor directly on the widget's palette.

QPalette pal = edit->palette();
pal.setBrush(QPalette::Text, color);
edit->setPalette(pal);

QPalette pal = edit->palette();
pal.setBrush(QPalette::Text, color);
edit->setPalette(pal);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode
