A good way to set style for a clicked QPushButton (indicates as active)

jensen82

Hi!

I'm looking for a good solution to set the button's style after clicked (stay after clicked) via QSS. The current solution is setting a new class name via a dynamic property and update the container-widget and the button (via setstyle).

Here's the code so far:

@if (m_ActiveNavigationButton != NULL)
{
m_ActiveNavigationButton->setProperty("isActiveButton", false);
m_ActiveNavigationButton->setStyle(QApplication::style());
m_ActiveNavigationButton = navibutton;
m_ActiveNavigationButton->setProperty("isActiveButton", true);
m_ActiveNavigationButton->setStyle(QApplication::style());
}
else
{
m_ActiveNavigationButton = navibutton;
navibutton->setProperty("isActiveButton", true);
m_ActiveNavigationButton->setStyle(QApplication::style());
}
update();
repaint();@

Is there a solution in QSS or is it necessary to update the window in that way? I know that i can use the "pressed-state" in QSS, but it only appears at click and does not stay after click.

Any ideas on that?

Thank you !!

Hi,

IIRC you also have to set the style for the checked state

Hope it helps

You mean QPushButton::Checked?

Rather:

@"QToolButton:enabled:checked"@

In addition to above, you also need to set 'setCheckable(true)' property for your PushButton.
