transparency, setMask, createHeuristicMask, createMaskFromColor, QPixmap

[TheKedge]

Ok, sounds good, but , I'm sorry but all I can manage is to make a transparent pixmap of the right size!

func(QString text)
{
QPixmap pixmap(QPixmap::grabWidget ( this ));//just to get the right size
pixmap.fill ( Qt::transparent );//ok, now I have a transparent pixmap
 
//draw text onto the pixmap ??? how??
 
QBitmap bmp(QBitmap::fromImage(pixmap.toImage()));//is this the only way from QPixmap to QBitmap?
 
QBitmap mask(pixmap.mask());//what mask will this give me??
label->setMask(theMask);
}

func(QString text)
{
QPixmap pixmap(QPixmap::grabWidget ( this ));//just to get the right size
pixmap.fill ( Qt::transparent );//ok, now I have a transparent pixmap

//draw text onto the pixmap ??? how??

QBitmap bmp(QBitmap::fromImage(pixmap.toImage()));//is this the only way from QPixmap to QBitmap?

QBitmap mask(pixmap.mask());//what mask will this give me??
label->setMask(theMask);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

sorry, I'm a little confused

oh, one more question: why won't pixmap.createMaskFromColor() work?

thanks, for your help
