Text Field Background Color when disabled

[lakefalos]

Anyone know how to change the background color of a text field that is disabled?

When I set the Enable property to FALSE on a text field object - the background color changes to WHITE. I am unable to change it to another color. I have tried using the CSS stylesheet to do so but it has no effect on the color

I have tried different variations
QLineEdit[type = "CueDisplay"]:!isEnabled {
background: rgb(0,0,0);
}

QLineEdit[type = "CueDisplay"]:read-only {
background: rgb(0,0,0);
}
QLineEdit[type = "CueDisplay"] {
background: rgb(0,0,0);
}

None of the above work. They seem to be correct syntax wise as they do not cause any faults when the style sheet is loaded.

When creating a TextField, the default color for the background is _Window - this is important when wanting to apply a stylesheet.
Keep this background color.
When you now want to have the TextField always with black background color, also when disabled, use a stylesheet with

Code: Select all

QLineEdit { background: black }

I have never seen the pseudo-state 'isEnabled' before. In the Qt Style Sheets Reference I only see the 'disabled' and 'enabled' pseudo-states.

Hi. Thanks so much for your quick replay and it worked! I had already had the default colors set as you stated. I had seen that recommendation in the previous post.The format QLineEdit { background: black } seemed to be the key. Thanks again!

I saw that parameter on their website and tried it along with a couple others. It didn't cause a syntax error but it didn't fix my issue. It turns out I did not have to differentiate between enabled and disabled. It worked with this format QLineEdit { background: black }
