Stylesheet inheritance with pseudo-states

Megamouse

Hi,

I have a stylesheet issue.
Using this notation:

#my_widget #my_label {
    color: black;
}
#my_widget:focus #my_label {
    color: white;
}

my_label is always using a white text color, even if my_widget is not focused.
The focus itself works, tested with background color of my_widget.

Is there any reason why this descendant usage doesn't work properly?

Thanks,
Megamouse

It turns out the solution is to use the existing QProperty declarations in the QWidget header:

#my_widget #my_label {
    color: black;
}

// This does not work
// #my_widget:focus #my_label {
//     color: white;
// }

// This works
#my_widget[focus="true"] #my_label {
    color: white;
}

Sadly, to make this work, you still need to check the focus events of your parent widget and do:

my_label->style()->unpolish(my_label);
my_label->style()->polish(my_label);

Also, the hover state doesn't seem to be represented as QProperty, so I'll have to add that property manually and query the QHoverEvents
