How to change color of QWidget in QTableWidget

Question

I have a QTableWidget. In its cells I need to display 3-state QSliders, that must change their color, depending form their state. -1 = red, 0 - normal, 1 - green. I tried to set QPalette to QSlider - whitout success. I tried to place QSlider into QWidget with Layout and apply palette to QWidget - whitout success. How to do that? I need any color sign (border or full background, e.t.c) How to do that?

You can use QItemDelegate, then you'll could to rule your QSlider into QTableWidget.

Detail.

At first, you should derive from QItemDelegate. A good docs presents by doc.qt.digia example using qitemdelegate

You should substitute QSpinBox to QSlider. And after reading this document, you can do needed with setting color your QSlider.

QTableWidget *table = new QTableWidget(this);
table->setItemDelegateForColumn(index_column, delegate);
// or table->setItemDelegateForRow(index_row, delegate);
// or table->setItemDelegate(delegate);

To editor was opened always, you should use openPersistentEditor(). For example:

QTableWidgetItem *item = new QTableWidgetItem;
table->insertRow(row);
table->setItem(row, index_your_delegate, item);
table->openPersistentEditor(item);
