[Qt-interest] changing colors in spin box

[Jason H]

I took a quick look, but I didn't see anything derived from QAbstractSpinBox.

All you have to do is on the proper event or signal, do something like: (I can't remember if you need pointers or not, I'll assume not) 


MySpinBox::MySpinBox() { connect(this, SIGNAL(valueChanged(QString)), this, SLOT(valueChangedSlot(QString))); 

//Initialize a QMap<QString, QColor> colorMap //e.g. colorMap["blue"]=QColor(QColor::blue);

}

void MySpinBox::valueChangedSlot(QString text) {

QPallette p=pallete();
p.setColor (QPalette::Background, colorMap[text]);
setPallette(p);

}

I was hoping he would elaborate on what part he didn't udnerstand. Like the changing the color for the background role of the widget's palette or what not. Did I just say too much? ;-)

No you did not say too much ;-)
I am a very beginner at QT, so if you would elaborate I will be eternally grateful :-) 


the code is at

If you look you will see that we have learnt a lot but we are stumped on this one.
