qlabel border radius stylesheet

[user4592357]

i have a qlabel on which i set a stylesheet. all properties work except border-radius: 25px;. i've tried to replace the label with QPushButton but it didn't help, so the problem isn't the label

Can you post how to setStyleSheet in your QLabel ?

[user4592357]

const auto entryLabel = new QLabel { entryText, this };
entryLabel->setStyleSheet("margin-left: 10px; border-radius: 25px; background: white; color: #4A0C46;");
m_pEntriesLayout->addWidget(entryLabel, 0, Qt::AlignCenter);

@user4592357
its works for me:

    auto entryLabel = new QLabel("My Label");
    entryLabel->setStyleSheet("QLabel{margin-left: 10px; border-radius: 25px; background: red; color: #4A0C46;}");
    ui->gridLayout->addWidget(entryLabel);

@user4592357 Hi,friend. Welcome.

Try below snippet:

entryLabel->setStyleSheet("QLabel{margin-left: 10px; border-radius: 25px; background: white; color: #4A0C46;}");

[user4592357]

@joeQ i had tried that too.

@Taz742, doesn't work for me

i'm placing the label in one of QStackedWidget's widget, which is a member in a QWidget subclass, and on that subclass i set style sheet too. i thought that was the problem, but i added the border-radius part to that style sheet and it still doesn't work

whats the actuall size of the Label? if its below 50 pxl, no rounded corners will be drawn, also you'll most likly need to specify a border color:

this for example, works fine for me

const auto entryLabel = new QLabel { "Blablabla"};
    entryLabel->setStyleSheet("margin-left: 10px; border: 1px solid black; border-radius: 25px; background: white; color: red;");
    entryLabel->show();
    entryLabel->resize(100,100);

[user4592357]

@J.Hilk didn't work for me. and i set no size but the text is long enough (def larger than 50px)

[J.Hilk]

@user4592357 height also > 50?

[user4592357]

@J.Hilk i set (100, 100) as you and didn't get any result

[J.Hilk]

@user4592357 my example was explicitly without parent, for testing purpose.
If your label is managed by anything else, a Layout for example, entryLabel->resize(100,100); has quite literly no effect on your label.

[user4592357]

@J.Hilk yes, it's in a layout. so what should i do?

@user4592357
You can use label->setMinimumSize(QSize(100,100));

[user4592357]

@mrjj finally works, thanks!

Super
It also fooled me in the beginning.
As soon as a Widget is in a layout, resize or setGeometry have no effect but
min/max size and SizePolicy is used instead.
