[solved] QLabel: Text with shadow?
-
Hi
I found this example: "Text with shadow":http://www.codeprogress.com/cpp/libraries/qt/showQtExample.php?index=205&key=QLabelShadowedText and tried it out for own use. But as i have expected, the result was not as shown in the output picture. After several minutes with Google i found more examples like this ("e.g":http://qt-project.org/wiki/Text_shadows_in_QLabel_snippests).
Is this a outdated behaviour of QGraphicsDropShadowEffect on QLabel?
And how can i actually generate text with some shadow in a QLabel?Best,

Hi,
Another way would be to subclass the QLabel and override the paintEvent().
Then in it first draw your text translated to a point using drawText(). Imagine this as a shadow below the actual text.
eg.
@
painter.setPen(Qt::black);
painter.drawText(rect().translated(3,3),Qt::AlignCenter,"Sample Text");
//Adjust the coordinates in translated() as per your requirement.
@And then draw the actual text over it as,
@
painter.setPen(Qt::red);
painter.drawText(rect(),Qt::AlignCenter,"Sample Text");
@You can set the the pen width and color as needed.

[/quote]Hi,
thanks for your advise.
It's the more complicated way, and i've already thought about this.
It's low-priority at the moment, but if i find time i will try it out.Best
