[FIXED] PyQt remove highlight selection area from QTreeWidget

Issue

I have a QTreeWidget and I want to remove the blue highlight area from around the Widget itself, not from the selected item (See image).

Any ideas?

Solution

I have since found a couple of ways to achieve this, depending on your setup and the desired affect.

Set the size Policy on the tree widget

tree_widget.setFocusPolicy(QtCore.Qt.NoFocus)

This will stop the QTreeWidget taking focus, preventing the blue outline from appearing.

Set the style sheet on the tree widget

tree_widget.setStyleSheet("QTreeView {border: none; outline: 0;}"

This will completely remove the border (which turns blue).

Bonus, remove the blue border from tree widget items

tree_widget.setStyleSheet("QTreeView::item {border: none; outline: 0;}")
