    int Count = 100;
    QPalette* palette = new IN_CURRENT_POOL QPalette();
    palette->setColor(QPalette::Base,QColor(236,236,236));

    QLabel* countLabel = new IN_CURRENT_POOL QLabel(tr("Pin count:"));
    /QLineEdit* lineEdit = new IN_CURRENT_POOL QLineEdit;
    lineEdit->setPalette(*palette);
    lineEdit->setText(QString("%1").arg(pinCount));
    lineEdit->setReadOnly(true);
    countLabel->setBuddy(lineEdit);

    Please let me know how to do the same

      @Qt-Enthusiast take a look at qt's StyleSheets

      that should have everything that you need, according to what you described so far.

          As I see the context of what you want to do I would advise to use a QLabel instead of the QLineEdit. You never want to use it as an input field are you?

          If you use QLabel you already have the background color without the border

                      OK, you don't want QLabel because you need copy paste funcitonality. Now I understand.

                      You can use the following stylesheet on your lineedit :

                      ui->lineEdit->setStyleSheet("background: transparent;  border: 0px ;");
