QTextEdit how to modify stylesheet elements from C++

I'm looking for the fastest way to modify css style for body element inside QTextEdit instance.

I tried this but it doesn't work

ui->textEdit->setStyleSheet("body {background-color: #aaa}");

I need a method that would update internal css stylesheet of the html document open inside QTextEdit.

You are using the correct member function QWidget::setStylesheet() if you need examples on how to apply the proper Stylsheet, Qt has some examples here

setStyleSheet updates the style sheet of the widget itself, not of the HTML document which is displayed by the text edit. As a QTextEdit does not have a "body" part, the line is ignored.

If you want the HTML document to use a different style sheet, you would have to modify the displayed HTML content (or rather the hidden stylesheet include line) directly
