[FIXED] update QStyle in EnterEvent

Issue

i wanna update the QStyle of the LineEdit while the mouse is in\out the widget (enterEvent\leaveEvent ) i tried to add a bool variable to the drawPrimitive function but i get this error TypeError: drawPrimitive(self, QStyle.PrimitiveElement, QStyleOption, QPainter, widget: QWidget = None): 'a' is not a valid keyword argument

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PushButton_2 import Push_Button_
import sys

class LineEditStyle(QProxyStyle):
    def drawPrimitive(self, element, option, painter, widget,a=None):
        if a :
            self.pen = QPen(QColor('green'))
        else :
            self.pen = QPen(QColor('red'))
        self.pen.setWidth(4)
        if element == QStyle.PE_FrameLineEdit:
            painter.setRenderHint(QPainter.Antialiasing)
            painter.setPen(self.pen)
            painter.drawRoundedRect(QRect(0,0,400,40), 10, 10)
        else:
            super().drawPrimitive(element, option, painter, widget)

        
class LineEdit(QLineEdit):
    def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
        QLineEdit.__init__(self,*args,**kwargs)
        self.a = 0
    
    def enterEvent(self, a0):
        self.a = 1

    def leaveEvent(self, a0):
        self.a = 0
        
    def paintEvent(self,event):
        option = QStyleOption()
        option.initFrom(self)
        self.style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PE_FrameLineEdit,option,a=self.a)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = QMainWindow()
    window.setGeometry(500,500,400,400)
    window.setStyleSheet('background-color:#373737')
    line = LineEdit(parent=window)
    line.setGeometry(20,200,400,40)
    style = LineEditStyle()
    line.setStyle(style)
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())

Solution

You mustn't use the QStyleSheet with the QStyle because it makes a confusion and you have to set the default parameter Widget as None

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import *
from PyQt5.QtCore import *
from PyQt5.QtGui import *
from PushButton_2 import Push_Button_
import sys

class LineEditStyle(QProxyStyle):
    def drawPrimitive(self, element, option, painter, widget=None,a=None):
        if a :
            self.pen = QPen(QColor('green'))
        else :
            self.pen = QPen(QColor('red'))
        self.pen.setWidth(4)
        if element == QStyle.PE_FrameLineEdit:
            painter.setRenderHint(QPainter.Antialiasing)
            painter.setPen(self.pen)
            painter.drawRoundedRect(QRect(0,0,400,40), 10, 10)
        else:
            super().drawPrimitive(element, option, painter, widget)
    
    def subElementRect(self, element, option, widget):
        if element == QStyle.SE_LineEditContents :
            return QRect(0,0,50,30)
        else :
            return super().subElementRect(element, option, widget)
    
    def drawItemText(self, painter, rect, flags, pal, enabled, text, textRole):
        rect_ = QRect(20,20,50,50)
        text = text.upper()
        painter.drawText(text,rect_,Qt.AlignCenter)
        
class LineEdit(QLineEdit):
    def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
        QLineEdit.__init__(self,*args,**kwargs)
        self.a = 0
    
    def enterEvent(self, a0):
        self.a = 1

    def leaveEvent(self, a0):
        self.a = 0
        
    def paintEvent(self,event):
        option = QStyleOption()
        option.initFrom(self)
        painter = QPainter(self)
        self.style().drawPrimitive(QStyle.PE_FrameLineEdit,option,painter,a=self.a)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = QMainWindow()
    window.setGeometry(500,500,400,400)
    #window.setStyleSheet('background-color:#373737')
    line = LineEdit(parent=window)
    line.setGeometry(20,200,400,40)
    style = LineEditStyle()
    line.setStyle(style)
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec())
