Change Highlight item's color if a QListWidgetItem

[qt.1234]

Hi, I have created a QListWidget dynamically to populate menu items and allow user to select them and access different functions.

The code is as follows:

QListWidgetItem* homePage = new QListWidgetItem(tr("HOME"));
QListWidgetItem* productPage = new QListWidgetItem(tr("PRODUCTS"));
QListWidgetItem* locationPage = new QListWidgetItem(tr("LOCATIONS"));

ui.listWidget->insertItem(0, homePage);
ui.listWidget->insertItem(1, productPage);
ui.listWidget->insertItem(2, locationPage);

ui.listWidget->setCurrentRow(0);

How do i go about changing the set current row highlighted color?? Please advise. Thank you.

You can use QPalette or a Stylesheet for that. I would recommen a simple Stylesheet. Something like

ui.listWidget->setStylesheet("QListWidget:item { selection-background-color: blue; }"

I dont know if that Code works, but something like this. You can set the Stylesheet in the Form through Qt Creater as well.

Thank you. I have tried using stylesheet through Qt creator however it does not work.

I use the following

QListView::item:selected
{
background-color: rgb(255,0,0);
}

Try QListWidget instead of QListView then

@Fuel-0 it does not work even if i use QListWidget.

Hi,

Please take a look at the stylesheet reference for QListView. It shows how to customize several aspects of that widget.

@qt-1234 said in Change Highlight item's color if a QListWidgetItem:

maybe you set this style sheet in wrong widget.
try this:

ui->listWidget->setStyleSheet("QListView::item:selected{background-color: rgb(255,0,0);}");

if not work again maybe your IDE is have a problem.
good luck
