Styled PushButton in checked state

Andy314

Hello !
I want a pushbutton with a green background in checked state and tried this style for the button:
checked {background-color: green ; border: none;}
This style has no effect!

What I am doing wrong?

PS: I use Windows 8.1

Hi,

QPushButton:checked {background-color: green; border: none;}

will do what you want

Works!
Thank you, I thought the property of the QPushButton has the local context QPushButton.

You were missing the : before checked so
":checked {background-color: green ; border: none;}"
will also work

Hello @SGaist !
:checked {background-color: lightgreen; border: 1px solid;}
QPushButton {background-color: red; border: 1px solid; padding: 6px}
works.

but how I can avoid the second type name ?
(I need this style for different widgedts)

AFAIK, you can't, however you can still re-use it by using something like:

QString styleSheet("%1:checked {background-color: lightgreen; border: 1px solid;} "
"%1 {background-color: red; border: 1px solid; padding: 6px}");

myWidget->setStyleSheet(styleSheet.arg(myWidget->metaObject()->className()));
