QPushButton function

[maider]

Hey!

I'm trying to insert a load of qpushbuttons with their own two images on the grounds that they are checkeable buttons but with a function. I want to do like this to simplify the code.

My question is: How can I crontol where i put the buttons if i don't use a combox?
I don't want to use combox because of the fact that i want to have the button and the images with the measure that i need.

thanks!

sorry, I don't understand the questio. can you rephrase it, please?

(What has all this to do with a combobox?)

Sorry, I was wrong!

I didn't want to say combox. I don't want to do with a QGridLayout, because I need to insert a load of checkeable buttons ,that are going to chance the imange if they are clicked or not, with the measure that i want.
The image is going to have the measure of the button to simulate as if they were checkeable images.

why is this a reason not to use a QGridLayout?

you can also
* subclass QWidget, put your button and a QLabel with the second image in it
* subclass QPushButton and draw a second image on it

Maybe draw a picture that shows what you want to achieve?

ok this is a graphic example.

i would probably do something like

class ButtonWithIcon : public QWidget
{
   QAbstractButton *button_;
   QLabel *state_;
 
public:
   ButtonWithIcon(QWidget *parent=0) : QWidget(parent)
   {
       QHBoxLayout *l=new QHBoxLayout;
       button_ = new QToolButton(...);
       l->addWidget(button_);
       state_ = new QLabel(...);
       l->addWidget(state_);
       setLayout(l);
 
       button_->setCheckable(true);
       connect(button_, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)), SLOT(onToggle(bool)));
   }
 
private Q_SLOTS:
   void onToggle(bool on)
   {
       state_->setPixmap(... depending on on ...);
   }
 
};

class ButtonWithIcon : public QWidget
{
   QAbstractButton *button_;
   QLabel *state_;

public:
   ButtonWithIcon(QWidget *parent=0) : QWidget(parent)
   {
       QHBoxLayout *l=new QHBoxLayout;
       button_ = new QToolButton(...);
       l->addWidget(button_);
       state_ = new QLabel(...);
       l->addWidget(state_);
       setLayout(l);

       button_->setCheckable(true);
       connect(button_, SIGNAL(toggled(bool)), SLOT(onToggle(bool)));
   }

private Q_SLOTS:
   void onToggle(bool on)
   {
       state_->setPixmap(... depending on on ...);
   }

};

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

A drawback is that the class itself is not a subclass of QAbstractButton.

Here is an example using properties and checking the state as well.
