SetStyleSheet to QPushButton - box-shadow

never_ever

Hi,
I have a question. Is there a possibility to set shadoww to the pushbutton?

Now, I have:

@
button->setStyleSheet(QString::fromUtf8("QPushButton{"
"border-style:solid;"
"border-width: 2px;"
"border-color: #999999;"
"border-radius: 10px;"
"background-color: qlineargradient(x1: 0, y1: 0, x2: 0, y2: 1,"
"stop: 0 #CCCCCC, stop: 1 #AAAAAA);}";
@

Now I want to set box-shadow
"link to example shadow":http://www.webmonkey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/box-shadowdiff.jpg
and I tried to set it:

@
"box-shadow: 10px 10px 5px rgba(182, 191, 193, 0.5);"
@

But there is no effect. Is it possible to set the shadow? Or I do sth wrong?

Hiii.

You can use QFrame with QPushbutton and can get desired shadow effects.
Set the following properties:-
1)frameShape - Panel
2)frameShadow - Raised
3)lineWidth - 5
4)midelineWidth - 2

But I also change shape of button and other properties, so I have to use setStyleSheet (I think so, if I am wrong, please correct me).

Only an idea:
Perhaps you may succeed with border-style "see: ":http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-background/#border-style
Haven't tried it yet but it seems flexible enough to paint the shadow, too (groove && / || ridge).

Yes, I thought about it, but I have to create couple of styles of buttons, and one of option was to use border-style:outset/inset, second option was to set border width, and now I want to add some shadow in third style.

You may even mix the styles for top, bottom, right & left lines with border-top-style etc.

Ok, I will try, thanks

Try this..

QWidget vpcWidget = new QWidget();

QPushButton *pBtn = new QPushButton();

pBtn->setParent(vpcWidget);

QGraphicsDropShadowEffect* effect = new QGraphicsDropShadowEffect();

effect->setBlurRadius(1); //Adjust accordingly

effect->setOffset(3,3); //Adjust accordingly

pBtn->setGraphicsEffect(effect);

vpcWidget->show();

Hope it helps
