QPushButton changing between checkedOff / checkedOn .png graphics

[Calicoder]

Howdy,

I have a QPushButton that has 2 .png images that switch between checkedOn / checkedOff states and change between each image when I click on it. Is there a way to switch images without clicking on it, for example using a QTimer?

I wrote this pseudocode as an example:

QTimer::singleShot(5000, this, &TestClass::switchButtonImage);

void TestClass::switchButtonImage()
{
	QPixmap pixmap(":/button_ON.png");
	QIcon buttonIcon(pixmap);
	ui.button01->setIcon(buttonIcon);
}

@Calicoder
Did you try it? Looks reasonable to me.

Tried it and it doesn't change the image. Only does so when I physically click on the button.

Hi,

Do you mean just replace the image or programmatically change your button state ?

[Calicoder]

@SGaist Ohh interesting, I'm guessing changing the button state would end up changing the image displayed for the button?

[SGaist]

Yes it will do the same as when you click on it.

Perfect, thanks so much.

ui.button01->setChecked(true);
