Solved Stylesheet in QHBoxLayout embedded in QFormLayout

[gabor53]

Hi,
I have the following code:

#include "additem.h"
#include "ui_additem.h"

Additem::Additem(QWidget *parent) :
    QDialog(parent),
    ui(new Ui::Additem)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);

	Addcontent ();


}

Additem::~Additem()
{
    delete ui;
}

void Additem::Addcontent()
{

//Add Title

    QLabel  *Title	= new QLabel;
    QFont f("Arial", 18, QFont::Bold);
    Title->setFont (f);
    Title->setAlignment (Qt::AlignCenter);
    Title->setText ("ADDING A FRIEND TO THE DATABASE");
    Title->setFixedWidth (840);
    Title->show ();

//Add ID Counter

    Additem::opendb ();

    QSqlQuery query("SELECT ID FROM Items ORDER BY ID DESC");

    if(query.isActive()==true)
        {
            qDebug() << "The query is active.";
        }
    else
        {
            qDebug() << "The query is NOT active.";
        }

    query.first ();
    int LastID;
    LastID = query.value(0).toInt ();

    qDebug() << "The last ID is " << LastID;

    int ItemID = LastID+1;

    qDebug() << "The Item ID # is " << ItemID;
    QString sID = QString::number(ItemID);

    QLabel *Label_ID = new QLabel;
    QFont g("Arial", 16, QFont::Normal);
    Label_ID->setFont (g);

    QLabel *ID_Display = new QLabel;
    ID_Display->setFont (g);


    Label_ID ->setText ("Friend ID:");
    ID_Display ->setText (sID);

    db.close ();


//Getting name
    QLabel *Label_Name = new QLabel;
    Label_Name->setFont (g);
    Label_Name->setText ("Name:");

    QLineEdit *LineEdit_Name = new QLineEdit;
    LineEdit_Name->setFont (g);

    QString string;

    string = LineEdit_Name->text ();
    setFocusPolicy (Qt::StrongFocus);
    connect(LineEdit_Name, SIGNAL(editingFinished()), this, SLOT(readAndValidate()));

    setStyleSheet("QLineEdit{ "
                  "background-color:rgb(202, 255, 227);"
                  "border: 2px solid gray;"
                  "border-radius: 10px;"
                  "padding: 0 8px;"
                  "selection-background-color: darkgray;"
                  "font-size: 16px;}"
                  "QLineEdit:focus { "
                  "background-color:rgb(192, 192, 255);}"
                  );

    LineEdit_Name->setFixedWidth (150);
    LineEdit_Name->setFixedHeight (35);

    //validating

    QLabel *angry_image_Label = new QLabel;

    angry_image_Label->setFixedSize (30,30);

//    QLabel *incorrect_Label = new QLabel();
//    incorrect_Label->setStyleSheet("QLabel { font-size:200px; color: red; }");
    QLabel *incorrect_Label = new QLabel();
    incorrect_Label->setStyleSheet("QLabel { font-size:200px; color: red; }");
    //incorrect_Label->show();


                 if(string.length ()<2)
                   {
                       incorrect_Label->setText ("The name is too short!");
                       incorrect_Label->setStyleSheet ("color: red");

                       QPixmap pix("C:/Programming/Projects/FolkFriends/icons/angry.png");

                       angry_image_Label->setScaledContents (true);
                       angry_image_Label->setPixmap (pix);
                   }
                   else
                   {
                       incorrect_Label->setText ("");
                       QPixmap pix2("C:/Programming/Projects/FolkFriends/icons/Check-icon.png");
                       angry_image_Label->setScaledContents (true);
                       angry_image_Label->setPixmap (pix2);
                   }

               QString Name;
               Name = LineEdit_Name->text ();
               qDebug() << "Name: " << Name;


//Creating the scroll area

    	QScrollArea *scrollarea = new QScrollArea(this);
        scrollarea->setVerticalScrollBarPolicy (Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);
        scrollarea->setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy (Qt::ScrollBarAlwaysOn);

        scrollarea->setMinimumWidth (900);

        QWidget *viewport  = new QWidget(this);
        scrollarea->setWidget (viewport);
        scrollarea->setWidgetResizable (true);

        QFormLayout *layout = new QFormLayout(this);
        viewport->setLayout (layout);
		layout->setSpacing (60);

        //Title Row setup
        QHBoxLayout *titleRow = new QHBoxLayout();
        titleRow->addWidget (Title);

		//Creating the Name row

		QHBoxLayout *NameRow = new QHBoxLayout();

        NameRow->addWidget (Label_Name);        
        NameRow->addWidget (LineEdit_Name);
        NameRow->addSpacing (10);
        NameRow->addWidget (angry_image_Label);
        NameRow->addSpacing (10);
        NameRow->addWidget (incorrect_Label);
		NameRow->addSpacing (350);

        //Interspace
        layout->setVerticalSpacing (30);
        QLabel *spacer_Label = new QLabel;

        //Displaying the rows

		layout->addRow (titleRow);
        layout->addRow (spacer_Label,spacer_Label);
        layout->addRow (Label_ID,ID_Display);
        layout->addRow (NameRow);

}

The incorrect_Label's formatting does not show when displayed in the layout. It shows when I display it outside of the layout. The color is correct even in the layout. What can I do to increase the text size of incorrect_Label?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,

You are applying several different style sheets on your widget for QLineEdit. Either remove the QLineEdit specifier on incorrect_Label or use an object name to differentiate it.
