Jambi Custom Widgets and Styles
Message 1 in thread
I am trying to create a new custom widget by extending
QTreeView called MyCustomTree. I am putting the custom
widget in a dialog and try to customize the whole
window using window.setStyleSheet( sStyle )
My sStyle looks like:
MyCustomTree {
......
}
This doesn't work, it doesn't apply the style to the
custom widget in the window. However, if I have the
sStyle set for the base component QTreeView it works:
QTreeView {
.....
}
I want to find a way to use styles on my custom
widgets based on the class name. Is this possible ?
Thanks,
Danny

When you create a custom widget in Qt Jambi you will get a new class in Java
but not in c++. So on the c++ side it will just look like another
QTreeWidget. Each class on the c++ side has a meta object giving us
introspection, and this is what is used by the style sheet system. Therefor
this will not work before we create a "fake meta object" for the objects that
are instantiated from a custom class on the Java side.
In Qt Jambi 4.4 Eskil has just done this, and you can read his blog about it:
http://labs.trolltech.com/blogs/2007/12/12/qt-jambi-doth-teach-the-torches-to-burn-bright/
So before 4.4 you will not be able to do this the way you tried to do it, but
it will work in 4.4 :-)
As you said, making a stylesheet for QTreeWidget worked, but you only wanted
them to be set on your custom widgets. You can try this as a workaround:
In the constructor you will call the function.
widget.setObjectName("MyCustomTree");
Then in your style sheet you can reference all the objects created like this
with:
QTreeWidget#MyCustomTree { background: yellow }
This should apply the style sheet to all classes of type QTreeWidget with the
name MyCustomTree.
Hope this will work for as a workaround for you until 4.4

This is not possible before the 4.4 release.
