Detailed Description

The QAbstractButton class is the abstract base class of button widgets, providing functionality common to buttons.

\inmodule QtWidgets

This class implements an abstract button. Subclasses of this class handle user actions, and specify how the button is drawn.

QAbstractButton provides support for both push buttons and checkable (toggle) buttons. Checkable buttons are implemented in the QRadioButton and QCheckBox classes. Push buttons are implemented in the QPushButton and QToolButton classes; these also provide toggle behavior if required.

Any button can display a label containing text and an icon. setText() sets the text; setIcon() sets the icon. If a button is disabled, its label is changed to give the button a "disabled" appearance.

If the button is a text button with a string containing an ampersand ('&'), QAbstractButton automatically creates a shortcut key. For example:

The \uicontrol Alt+C shortcut is assigned to the button, i.e., when the user presses \uicontrol Alt+C the button will call animateClick(). See the \l {QShortcut::mnemonic}{QShortcut} documentation for details. To display an actual ampersand, use '&&'.

You can also set a custom shortcut key using the setShortcut() function. This is useful mostly for buttons that do not have any text, and therefore can't have any automatic shortcut.

button->setIcon(QIcon(":/images/print.png"));
button->setShortcut(tr("Alt+F7"));

All the buttons provided by Qt (QPushButton, QToolButton, QCheckBox, and QRadioButton) can display both \l text and \l{icon}{icons}.

A button can be made the default button in a dialog by means of QPushButton::setDefault() and QPushButton::setAutoDefault().

QAbstractButton provides most of the states used for buttons:

\list

  • isDown() indicates whether the button is pressed down.
  • isChecked() indicates whether the button is checked. Only checkable buttons can be checked and unchecked (see below).
  • isEnabled() indicates whether the button can be pressed by the user.
    Note
    As opposed to other widgets, buttons derived from QAbstractButton accept mouse and context menu events when disabled.
  • setAutoRepeat() sets whether the button will auto-repeat if the user holds it down. \l autoRepeatDelay and \l autoRepeatInterval define how auto-repetition is done.

\endlist

The difference between isDown() and isChecked() is as follows. When the user clicks a toggle button to check it, the button is first pressed then released into the checked state. When the user clicks it again (to uncheck it), the button moves first to the pressed state, then to the unchecked state (isChecked() and isDown() are both false).

QAbstractButton provides four signals:

\list 1

  • pressed() is emitted when the left mouse button is pressed while the mouse cursor is inside the button.
  • released() is emitted when the left mouse button is released.
  • clicked() is emitted when the button is first pressed and then released, when the shortcut key is typed, or when click() or animateClick() is called.
  • toggled() is emitted when the state of a toggle button changes.

\endlist

To subclass QAbstractButton, you must reimplement at least paintEvent() to draw the button's outline and its text or pixmap. It is generally advisable to reimplement sizeHint() as well, and sometimes hitButton() (to determine whether a button press is within the button). For buttons with more than two states (like tri-state buttons), you will also have to reimplement checkStateSet() and nextCheckState().

Member Function Documentation

◆ animateClick

void QAbstractButton::animateClick ( )
slot

Performs an animated click: the button is pressed immediately, and released 100ms later.

Calling this function again before the button is released resets the release timer.

All signals associated with a click are emitted as appropriate.

This function does nothing if the button is \l{setEnabled()}{disabled.}

Notably, this signal is not emitted if you call setDown(), setChecked() or toggle().

If the button is checkable, checked is true if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked.

◆ toggled

void QAbstractButton::toggled ( bool checked)
signal

This signal is emitted whenever a checkable button changes its state.

checked is true if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked.

This may be the result of a user action, click() slot activation, or because setChecked() is called.

The states of buttons in exclusive button groups are updated before this signal is emitted. This means that slots can act on either the "off" signal or the "on" signal emitted by the buttons in the group whose states have changed.

For example, a slot that reacts to signals emitted by newly checked buttons but which ignores signals from buttons that have been unchecked can be implemented using the following pattern:

void MyWidget::reactToToggle(bool checked)
{
if (checked) {
// Examine the new button states.
...
}
}
void setShortcut(const QKeySequence &key)
void setIcon(const QIcon &icon)
QPushButton * button
[0]

Button groups can be created using the QButtonGroup class, and updates to the button states monitored with the \l{QButtonGroup::buttonClicked()} signal.

Property Documentation

◆ autoExclusive

QAbstractButton::autoExclusive
readwrite

whether auto-exclusivity is enabled

If auto-exclusivity is enabled, checkable buttons that belong to the same parent widget behave as if they were part of the same exclusive button group. In an exclusive button group, only one button can be checked at any time; checking another button automatically unchecks the previously checked one.

The property has no effect on buttons that belong to a button group.

autoExclusive is off by default, except for radio buttons.

◆ autoRepeat

QAbstractButton::autoRepeat
readwrite

whether autoRepeat is enabled

If autoRepeat is enabled, then the pressed(), released(), and clicked() signals are emitted at regular intervals when the button is down. autoRepeat is off by default. The initial delay and the repetition interval are defined in milliseconds by \l autoRepeatDelay and \l autoRepeatInterval.

Note: If a button is pressed down by a shortcut key, then auto-repeat is enabled and timed by the system and not by this class. The pressed(), released(), and clicked() signals will be emitted like in the normal case.

◆ shortcut

QAbstractButton::shortcut
readwrite

the mnemonic associated with the button

Definition at line 30 of file qabstractbutton.h.

◆ text

QAbstractButton::text
readwrite

the text shown on the button

If the button has no text, the text() function will return an empty string.

If the text contains an ampersand character ('&'), a shortcut is automatically created for it. The character that follows the '&' will be used as the shortcut key. Any previous shortcut will be overwritten or cleared if no shortcut is defined by the text. See the \l {QShortcut::mnemonic}{QShortcut} documentation for details. To display an actual ampersand, use '&&'.

There is no default text.
