[Qt-interest] Preventing highlighting of QLineEdit

[KC Jones]

Thanks for the suggestions, but no luck.

Setting Qt::NoFocus makes the widget inaccessible and inactive, which
is not what I want.

setReadOnly(false) seems to have no effect.

A little more context: I am implementing a toolbar search widget that
surrounds the QLineEdit with QLabels that "paint" a oval lozenge
around the edit box.  I'm not convinced this approach will work, but
I'm trying to avoid having to write my own paint() method.  So taking
this composite widget approach, the highlighting "flair" that Qt draws
when the QLineEdit has focus is not wanted.

I don't care if I accomplish this with style sheets or by other means.
 It just seems like this is something that should be handled via style
sheets.
