Setting QComboBox stylesheet reduces hight of dropdown [SOLVED]

rherzog

Hi all,

I want my combobox to be blue. That is achieved by setting the stylesheet:
@combo->setStyleSheet("color: blue");@

There is only one downside:
Setting the above styling reduces the amount of items displayed when the combobox is clicked on the subitem list is displayed.

What can I do to set the textcolor and have all subitems of the combobox displayed when I click on the combobox.

kind regards, reinhart

you can try this:
@
QAbstractItemView * view = combo->view();
QPalette p = view->palette();
p.setColor(QPalette::Text,Qt::blue);
view->setPalette(p);
@
Not tested though.

Thanks a lot - works nicely!

qss for combo should not affect the number of visible items

where/when do you apply the style sheet?

just in case you could control the number of max visible items, after the style sheet setting, with:

@ui->comboBox->setMaxVisibleItems(5);@

or

@ui->comboBox->setStyleSheet("qproperty-maxVisibleItems:3");@

Hi,
the combobox is part of a QTableWidget. I think setting the stylesheet overwrites some default stylings (at least that is my explaination I don't know if that's true).
Thanks for the hint with maxvisible item, though!
