Background color of QTextEdit in QT 4
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
in QT3 I had set the background color of a QTextEdit with
setPaper (const QBrush &pap)
How can this be done in QT 4?
Best,
Uwe

just reading the doc.... I suppose you'll have to use
void QWidget::setBackgroundRole ( QPalette::ColorRole
<http://zorro/developpement/documentation/qt4.1.3/html/qpalette.html#ColorRole-enum>
/role/ )

I already tried that. For a QScrollArea it seems to work, but so far
I failed to convince QTextEdit to change anything.
I also played around e.g with examples/widgets/tooltips/sortingbox.cpp,
also no visible effect while changing BackroundRole.
Thanks anyway,
Uwe

For the latter one it works after adding
setAutoFillBackground (true);
The default is false, so the call to setBackgroundRole in the unmodified
example is useless.

Of course setting the palette for the widget does the trick, as
Veronique showed me.
QPalette p=palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Active, static_cast<QPalette::ColorRole>(9), QColor (Qt:gray);
e->setPalette(p);
