[Solved]How to calculate the border-width of a widget in the paintEvent?

[Sam]

I have a custom widget for which i have specified the stylesheet as

@setStyleSheet("border: 5px solid red");@

which can also be specified in a qss file like

@#MyWidget
{
border: 10px solid red;
}@

Since its a QWidget so to make the styleSheet work i added in the paintEvent() fuction of MyWidget

@void MyWidget::paintEvent(QPaintEvent *e)
{
QStyleOption opt;
opt.init(this);
QPainter p(this);
style()->drawPrimitive(QStyle::PE_Widget, &opt, &p, this);
}@

The above code has the following output

How can I calculate/get the border-width in the paintEvent() if the border is specified using stylesheet;

[Sam]

After working on this for few hrs i figured out that QWidget does not provide any information about the border-width. So instead of using QWidget i use QFrame.

My requirement was to paint in the available area excluding the border for a widget.

This is achieved by using QFrame that provide "frameWidth()":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qframe.html#frameWidth-prop and "contentsRect()":http:// for the same purpose.

Thanks.
