QComboBox align text stylesheet?

pauledd

Hi there,
Is it possible to align the text in a QComboBox without setting it to setEditable true? I read someone suggesting stylesheets but I was not able to find any sample code.
I want to align this text in the box to the right side:

comboBoxTime->setStyleSheet("align:right;") only gives "Unknown property align"

@pauledd
not the QStyle code doesn't consider text alignment.
It determines the alignment itself, just by the QComboBox's layout direction property. But this won't be the result you desire.

One workaround (pretend that you're in the Middle East :-):

comboBoxTime->setLayoutDirection(Qt::RightToLeft);

Thank you, I tried that but it still looks so squashed to the border and it also moves the arrow to the left what makes it looking even more odd,

maybe that has something to do with margins... I will play more around with spacing...

I found a simple solution, I just added two whitespaces before the text, of cause I needet to change that text in the rest of the code too, but it looks now as I desired:

QComboBox {background-color:rgb(190,190,190);color:black;padding-left: 10px;padding-right: 30px;border-style: solid;border-width: 0px;}

"padding-left: 10px;"

the padding will shift the combo-box displayed content form the left edge

         QComboBox::drop-down {subcontrol-origin: padding;  subcontrol-position: top right;width: 40px;border: 0px ;}

"subcontrol-position: top right;"

and the above will position wot text to the right.

Hopefully this helps.
