[SOLVED] Editing QGroupBox border

Clint Westwood

At the moment I'm using QFrame to enclose some of my widgets. I want to change it to QGroupBox. However, I don't see any border control options here like in QFrame (frameShape and frameShadow). How do I change border options for QGroupBox?

Hi,

You have to use Qt's style sheet for that. See here for an example.

Hope it helps

Yeah, I've just discovered style sheets, but I can't seem to get them to work. It shows in Qt Creator but once app is compiled no style sheet changes are applied.

This is just a test:

#MainWindow {
background: yellow;
}

#centralWidget {
border: 3px solid gray;
border-radius: 40px;
background: yellow;
}

In Qt creator in the top right corner I go to MainWindow, right click on it, use change stylesheet. A window pops up, I write code in it, hit "apply". Shows in Qt creator, doesn't show when I compile.

Do you mean that your widgets don't use the style sheet ?

Clint Westwood

Yes, I see my style sheet changes only in Qt creator design mode, but once application is compiled I do not see any changes.

I've fixed it. I've included a separate .qss file instead of working with style sheets from design mode. Using designer in Qt creator to implement style sheets seems to be extremely buggy to the point that I had to restore my form file from previous build.
