How not to show selection when QTreeView has no focus?

[jronald]

For QTreeView,
when focused, selection shows with blue background,
when not focused, selection shows with gray background.
How not to show selection when not focused by settings instead of selecting none when losing focus by codes?

Hi,

Do you mean clear the selection and reinstate it afterward ?

The focusInEvent and focusOutEvent are likely what you are looking for.

Out of curiosity, why do you want that behaviour ? It makes your users lose information about the state of the application.

Yes. If there is no flag for this, events must help.

Because most of the time, it's for view only.
If any combination of focus policies is possible, it'll be more powerful, user demands in appications can be very special.
