QLabel on a Button

[cwalsh]

Is it possible to put a qlabel on a qpushbutton (or any button for that matter)??

I want to present a button that has formatted text, such as (for example):

"<b>Button Name</b> non-bold text"

A label seems like the logical solution, but it doesn't seem possible...

Thanks,
Chris

You could use a label and implement the button functionality by overiding mouseClicked. Another option might be to set a pixmap that contains the rendered text as a pixmap. Not nice, but simple.

This will place a QLabel on a QPushButton, albeit at the top left corner. You will have to add the code to center it...


QPushButton *button = new QPushButton(this);
button->setText("");
QLabel *label = new QLabel(button);
label->setText("<b>Button</b> Test");


EDIT:
One thing to keep in mind is that on a regular button when it is clicked the text moves to the right and down a little to help give it that pushed down look... On the above button the text will not move.

the button?

Okeydoke, that gives me three things to try...

I'll have a go at overriding mouseClicked first and see what happens...

Thanks guys!
