[solved] QStatusBar add a widget without a frame/border

[idlefrog]

When adding a widget to QStatusBar such as a QLabel, it is shown with a frame.

Is there a way to add a widget to the status bar without the border / frame?

Or is inheriting QStatusBar and overriding render() the only possibility?

Hi,

You could try using a stylesheet like described "here":http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qstatusbar

Hope it helps

Yes, that's just what I needed :)
Thanks for the tip!

Adding:
@ qApp->setStyleSheet( "QStatusBar::item { border: 0px}" ) ;@

Removed the border from the widgets in the status bar.
Thanks again :)

You can insert QLabel without frame afaik, there's no need for using stylesheet. Just set Shape to QFrame::NoFrame. See http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qframe.html#Shadow-enum

Yes, I see, of course if you insert a custom QWidget you automatically get a frame, even if the custom widget does not inherit from QFrame.

But I'll keep that in mind for other standard widgets that I might add to the status bar.
:) Thanks for your help.
