[Qt-interest] Bold fonts

[Oliver Demetz]

Hi,

I'm afraid this question is too basic, but
I can't get the following to work:

I have a button which is rendered as usual,
with normal font. Now thare are situations,
where I would like this button to have a *bold*
font, eg. on hover, or if an associated action is
active.

For the hover-effect, I tried to use stylesheets:

QPushButton{
	font-weight:normal;
}

QPushButton:hover {
	font-weight: bold;
}

But no success.

For the activity indication of a button I have this
piece of code:

if(m_mirror_button.text() == tr("Mirror"))
{
	// ---active---
	m_mirror_button.setText(tr("Un-Mirror"));
	QFont f = m_mirror_button.font();
	f.setBold(true);
	m_mirror_button.setFont(f);
}
else
{
	//---inactive---
	m_mirror_button.setText(tr("Mirror"));
	QFont f = m_mirror_button.font();
	f.setBold(false);
	m_mirror_button.setFont(f);
}

but it also does not change anything.

Where is my mistake?

Thanks for your hint in advance.

Olli
