Center align text in radio button

[giesbert]

you could try it, using a style sheet:

@
QString szStyle = "QRadioButton {text-align: left;}";

pRadio->setStyleSheet(szStyle);

Gerolf, but how do i center align the text.

[vcsala]

Have you tried to replace left to center in Gerolf's sample?

[gauravofindia]

How do define pRadio and in which file?

[DenisKormalev]

pRadio is your QRadioButton object.

Or set the stylesheet in Qt Designer or the designer view of Qt Creator.

QRadioButton {text-align: center;} didn't work for me. I am not sure if QT picks text-align for QRadioButton.

I was able to get the indicator center align, however then the text is left align to the indicator, so it is on the center but not properly align.

All I want is to center align the text as it gets for indicator.

I don't think you can do that. Perhaps you could work around it by using a QRadioButton without a label, a QLabel that is centered and and put them in a horizontal layout together?

not sure if text-align will be recognized.
Other approaches I'd try:

1. You can create your own complex control as stated above

2. You can play with this: "http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/how_can_i_draw_custom_subcontrols_for_a_complex_control":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/how_can_i_draw_custom_subcontrols_for_a_complex_control

3. can play with values below and get close to what you want ...
   @
   QRadioButton {
   spacing: 5px;
   }
   QRadioButton::indicator {
   width: 50px;
   height: 13px;
   }
   @

4. You can try to edit/extend gui module to support this ...
   see qcommonstyle.cpp and qstylesheetstyle.cpp, SE_RadioButtonIndicator and SE_RadioButtonLableSpacing are of interest to you

Is there a way I can find the size/width of the QRadiobutton text and adjust the spacing accordingly?

yes: text() is available. Also since a QRadioButton extends a QWidget: font(), fontinfo(), fontmetrics() are all available ..

[NDev]

Thanks. So how do I calculate the exact width my QRadioButton text is going to take?

[Guest]

the documentation should help.. just read through the docs for these QFont, QFontInfo and QFontMetrics .. you will get an idea
