    Default Label inside a button or different font sizes within a button

    I'm trying to create a widget for entering a password. I want a number pad to appear on screen. I was hoping to not just have numbers but also have letters displayed on the buttons exactly like the letters on the buttons of a phone.

    I thought of two ways of doing this but I don't know how to do either. The first was to make a special kind of button that is a container. I could give it a layout and add two labels in - one for the number and one for the letters. This is ideal. The second kind is a hack but I'd be happy with it too. I could just have the button text as "2\nabc" and make the "abc" part a different size font, giving it the general appearance I'm after.

    If you have a better method, let me know. I have no idea how to implement these so any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks

    The easiest way would be to simple subclass QPushButton and do the painting yourself. Using QStyledPainter would also ensure that your new widget is style aware.
