If you do not want this space around your buttons, call setAutoDefault(false).īeing so central, the button widget has grown to accommodate a great many variations in the past decade. Note that auto-default buttons reserve a little extra space which is necessary to draw a default-button indicator. You can change this with setAutoDefault(). A default button is a push button that is activated when the user presses the Enter or Return key in a dialog. Push buttons also provide less commonly used signals, for example pressed() and released().Ĭommand buttons in dialogs are by default auto-default buttons, i.e., they become the default push button automatically when they receive the keyboard input focus. Connect to this signal to perform the button's action. If the button is disabled, the appearance of the text and icon will be manipulated with respect to the GUI style to make the button look 'disabled'.Ī push button emits the signal clicked() when it is activated by the mouse, the Spacebar or by a keyboard shortcut. These can be set using the constructors and changed later using setText() and setIcon(). Push buttons display a textual label, and optionally a small icon.

See the QShortcut documentation for details (to display an actual ampersand, use '&'). QPushButton *button = new QPushButton( '&Download', this)
