Hi justin,

thanks thats some good leads. yes i need it to be in a state where is stays in color in its "pressed down"state while the tool is active. until i need the setChecked(False) called.

if there is an easier way please let me know.

thanks again

john

I would wager is it because signals emitted and received within the same thread use a direct connection, which means that the button has probably not fully completed its "clicked" state until it returns back to the event loop. You could either called QApplication.processEvents() in your slot before you launch a modal dialog to flush the event loop, or you could make the signal/slot connection be of type QueuedConnection, making it put the callback into the event loop to get picked up. In terms of the stylesheet behavior, did you want it to respond to a color change only for the time when it is "pressed down"? or are you using a checkable button that it should be green while in the checked state? There are a couple different pseudo-states for the variations.

    hi all,

    having a small issue with a simple pushButton change of color.

    so the stylesheet is this

    color                                   = QtGui.QColor()
    color.setGreen(125)
    self.create_button.setStyleSheet( "QPushButton:checked  {
    background-color: %s }" % color.name <http://color.name>())


    then i have a callback triggered from a clicked() signal attached
    to that pushButton.

    when its clicked its supposed to turn green, which it has up
    untill i put a cmds.confirmDialog() within the callback

    the problem is that i gather because the callback hasnt completed
    i think the styleSheet doesnt get to finish. and even when i
    except the button doesnt change color.

    when i changed the styleSheet to "QPushButton:pressed it worked
    however when i
    use button.setChecked(False) it dosnt return to its defualt color.

    so it works fine without the maya comfim Dialog but with it in the
    mix i'm missing somthing.

    when is a styleSheet activated ? i gather there is a signal that
    happens.

    anyway any solutions would be great

    john
