QHeaderView paintSection Problem

iceboxx89

Hi Forum,

Im trying to change the background color of the header im using for my tableview, i am subclassing QHeaderView because the bg-color for the header will vary based on certain parameters. below is the code:

@
from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

class CustomHeader(QtGui.QHeaderView):

def __init__(self, orientation, parent):
    super(CustomHeader, self).__init__(orientation, parent)

def paintSection(self, painter, rect, section):
    painter.save()
    option = QtGui.QStyleOptionHeader()
    option.textAlignment = QtCore.Qt.AlignHCenter | QtCore.Qt.AlignVCenter
    option.text = "Date %d"%section
    option.rect = rect
    p = option.palette
    p.setBrush(p.Button, QtCore.Qt.red)
    self.style().drawControl(QtGui.QStyle.CE_Header, option, painter)
    painter.restore()

class CustomController(QtCore.QAbstractTableModel):

def __init__(self, parent=None):
    super(CustomController, self).__init__(parent)

def rowCount(self, parent=QtCore.QModelIndex()):
    return 10

def columnCount(self, parent=QtCore.QModelIndex()):
    return 10

def data(self, index, role):
    if role == QtCore.Qt.DisplayRole:
        if index.column() == 0:
            return "Artist xx"
        else:
            return None
    if role == QtCore.Qt.TextAlignmentRole:
        return QtCore.Qt.AlignHCenter|QtCore.Qt.AlignVCenter
    return None

if name == "main":
app = QtGui.QApplication([])
#app.setStyle("Plastique")
view = QtGui.QTableView()
view.horizontalHeader().setHidden(True)
view.verticalHeader().setHidden(True)
c_header = CustomHeader(QtCore.Qt.Horizontal, view)
view.setHorizontalHeader(c_header)
model = CustomController(view)
view.setModel(model)
view.show()
view.raise_()
app.exec_()
@

the issue is this works only if the application's style is set to something other than native.
i'm on a mac book pro using Qt version 4.8.5. is this a bug which i've already reported at
https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-31804 if yes is there a work around for this issue.?
