Custom Button is not styled by the Material theme

Florin1

Hello,

I need to create a custom button, which uses as a root element a regular button from QtQuick.Controls 2. Inside this new component, called ButtonWithHelp.qml, I've added some additional functionality.
Something along the lines:

import QtQuick 2.12
import QtQuick.Controls 2.12

Button {
    id: customControl
    contentItem: //code here
    background: //some more code here
}

Everything works as expected, except the styling. In main.cpp I set the style by doing

QQuickStyle::setStyle("Material");

which modifies all the other buttons except when using ButtonWithHelp.

I do not want to manually define the colors inside the component as I hope to have a general style which should be applicable at runtime.

Does anyone know what needs to be done?

Thank you.
Florin

which operating system are you using?
if it's win10 you can only use "windowVisa" , "Windows" and "Fusion"

@nullbuil7 this question is about Qt Quick, not QWidgets. The styles are not dependent on the platform.

Button {
   id: customControl
   contentItem: //code here
   background: //some more code here
}

Qt Quick Controls styles use their own contentItem and background to style a control, you are overriding them here.

What do you want to actually achieve by customysing the controls?
