<![CDATA[How create custom Button that inherits from QPushButton]]>Hi,

I created a custom Button that inherited from QPushButton because I wanted to customized the look and feel.
So I implemented the PaintEvent(QPaintEvent *e) method, thinking that this method would be called when I create my custome Button in the code, but in debugging I realized that the PainEvent() method never gets called and what gets displayed when the custom Button is created is just a plain QPushButton with the default look and feel skin.
So I don't understand than how can one overwrite the default PaintEvent() of the QPushButton.

Does anyone have an example, some code I can look at?

thank you

It does everywhere in C++.

Volker you were right, I was using PaintEvent(), I will try to fix this later. And Vinb , yeah, I ended up using the StyleSheet() in the meantime.
