Ok, so I want to customize the height and the position of icons of the tabs from a QToolBox widget. I am not able to do it using stylesheet (I tried different options, but none worked, see question: Customizing QToolBox: tab height), so I decided to give it a try to using a proxy. I know there are the controlElements:
CE_ToolBar
CE_ToolBoxTabShape
CE_ToolBoxTabLabel
And so I can use them on the drawControl function to get what I want.
void drawControl(ControlElement oCtrElement,
const QStyleOption *poStyleOptionption,
QPainter *poPainter,
const QWidget *poWidget) const
But I am not sure how to implement it... Any help or example? Thanks,
UPDATE: I have created the proxy, assigned it to the qtoolbox and added conditions to see if I could do something:
...
ToolBoxProxy* tabStyle = new ToolBoxProxy();
ui->toolBox->setStyle(tabStyle);
...
toolboxproxy.h
#include <QProxyStyle>
#include <QPainter>
class ToolBoxProxy : public QProxyStyle
{
public:
explicit ToolBoxProxy();
void drawControl(ControlElement oCtrElement, const QStyleOption * poStylrOptionption, QPainter * poPainter, const QWidget * poWidget = 0) const;
};
toolboxproxy.cpp
#include "toolboxproxy.h"
#include <QDebug>
ToolBoxProxy::ToolBoxProxy(){
}
void ToolBoxProxy::drawControl(ControlElement oCtrElement, const QStyleOption *poStyleOptionption, QPainter *poPainter, const QWidget *poWidget) const
{
if (oCtrElement == CE_ToolBar) {
qDebug() << "CE_ToolBar";
} else if (oCtrElement == CE_ToolBoxTabShape) {
qDebug() << "CE_TOOLBOXTABSHAPE";
} else if (oCtrElement == CE_ToolBoxTabLabel) {
qDebug() << "CE_ToolBoxTabLabel";
}
QProxyStyle::drawControl(oCtrElement, poStyleOptionption, poPainter, poWidget);
}
I don't know why, but the software never prints out any of the 3 qDebug()... but if I set a breakpoint, it only reaches the function when the control element is any of those:
CE_ItemViewItem
CE_ShapedFrame
CE_ToolButtonLabel
