    Default Star Rating system in QLineEdit or simliar

    Dear Qters,

    I am in the need of creating the Star Rating Widget and I was wondering how I should actually do it. I have looked at the star delegate example, which works for for QTableView and similar Widgets, but could I do something similar with a QLineEdit? Or are there better approaches?

    I would very much appreciate any advice and examples on how you would program such a feature.

    thanks in advance,

    That sounds more like a case for a custom widget, e.g. based on QWidget or QFrame.

    Or you could just use the rating widget from the widget addons library: http://inqlude.org/libraries/kwidgetsaddons.html

    Cheers,

    Thanks, I will take a look at the ratingWidget class. It needs to be editable so will see if it can be used.

    thanks for answering!

    I think that the easiest way to do it would be using class inherited from QLabel. You will have a resource of you star bitmap and method that sets stars and prepare QPixmap created from one or more star bitmaps, then it is loaded by QLabel. It's as easy as that.

    It's as easy as that.
    And that's pretty much what the KDE rating widget does. You can spend your time reinventing the wheel, or you can spend your time using the already-invented wheel to take you to new and interesting places.
