QStatusbar formatting and designing

? Offline

I took a look at QStatusBar and i found the Things i need for what i want to do. But at the Moment i stuck with 1 Thing. I want Notifications in my Statusbar if something was successfull or went wrong. For that i want different Messages. At this Point its no Problem to do that, but i have a Problem with formatting and designing that Message. For the first Purpose i want just a Green Background for something that went good and red for others. After that the Background Color disappears.

I searched the Web for Solutions and some Guys took QTimers, but this wont work in binding with my needs. Anyone has good Ideas for that?

Hi! You said timers won't work for you. Please elaborate on this so we can find a solution that suits your needs. The following uses a timer and looks good to me so far.

mainwindow.h

#ifndef MAINWINDOW_H
#define MAINWINDOW_H

#include <QMainWindow>
#include <QTimer>

namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();

private slots:
    void on_pushButton_clicked();

    void on_pushButton_2_clicked();

private:
    Ui::MainWindow *ui;
    QTimer m_timer;

    void showStatusMessage(QString const &text, bool isOk);
    void onTimeout();
};

#endif // MAINWINDOW_H

mainwindow.cpp

#include "mainwindow.h"
#include "ui_mainwindow.h"
#include <QStatusBar>

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
    connect(&m_timer, &QTimer::timeout, this, &MainWindow::onTimeout);
}

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

void MainWindow::showStatusMessage(const QString &text, bool isOk)
{
    ui->statusBar->showMessage(text);
    if (isOk)
       ui->statusBar->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(0, 255, 0); color: black");
    else
       ui->statusBar->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgb(255, 0, 0); color: black");
    m_timer.start(1000);
}

void MainWindow::onTimeout()
{
    ui->statusBar->setStyleSheet("");
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_clicked()
{
    showStatusMessage("Good", true);
}

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_2_clicked()
{
    showStatusMessage("Not good", false);
}
