How to change the header background color of a QTableView

c++, qabstracttablemodel, qt, qtableview

Solution

You can set the style sheet on the QTableView

ui->tableView->setStyleSheet("QHeaderView::section { background-color:red }");

for more info see http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/stylesheet-examples.html

Problem

The following is what I've currently tried. The header text changes color correctly but the background will not change from the default. ``` template<typename T> inline QVariant TableModel<T>::headerData(int section, Qt::Orientation orientation, int role) const { //... else if(role == Qt::BackgroundRole) { return QBrush(m_display.headerBackground); } //... } ``` How can I set the background color?
