Hey

@Dariusz What do you mean by "take pixmap"?
What about https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractbutton.html#icon-prop ?

[Dariusz]

Well QWidget has a -grab() option if I'm not wrong to get a pixmap of widget. I want to take on of button when being pressed. To on the go generate icons.

so what does QPushbutton::grab() with default parameters do in your case? According to docs, it should do what you seem to want.

@Kent-Dorfman Grab would return it in natural state, but I need it in pressed state.

@Dariusz Then subclass QPushButton and override https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qabstractbutton.html#mousePressEvent and grab the pixmap there.

Hmm will give it a go. But I need to grab it before UI shows up to display it as icon in other areas.

I don't think you can do this as there is nothing to grab if nothing is shown. You would need to render to a buffer somehow, but I really don't know how you could do this.

Is there no way to initiate styleDelegate with pressed flag maybe?
