QPushButton Text Position

sos1

Is it possible to change the text position for a QPushButton? I would like to place the text outside of the push button and below it, as shown in the attached screenshot. I would like to use the stylesheet.

You can use a QToolButton instead and call setToolButtonStyle ( Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon).

OK.

I set up a ToolButton and used the following code.
@ui->toolButton->setIconSize(QSize(40, 40));
ui->toolButton->setToolButtonStyle (Qt::ToolButtonTextUnderIcon);
@
The text remains in the center of the button. What am I doing wrong?

I might have misunderstood at what you are trying to get at. Are you trying to have the text of the button outside of the visual bounds of the button?

Yes, I have a button with a diameter of 100 pixels and I want to place the text outside of that.
After much searching it looks like the toolbutton ToolButtonTextUnderIcon will only move it outside of an icon of max 32x32 pixels.

I have come to the conclusion that i have to subclass QPushButton and place the text where I want myself. Right now I am struggling with that, being new to Qt & C++.
