Adding Icon on top of Text in a QPushButton

Pranjal Jain

Hi,
Is there a way to put an icon on top of text in a QPushButton. I know there is a way in a QToolButton, but I want to use QPushButton (constraint). Please tell me how to do so, even if it requires to overwrite the paintEvent.

I found a way using stylesheet, but that takes away in-built features of that button (on hover, click etc) and its very difficult to maintain the consistency with various styles.

        char iconName[80];
        strcat(iconName, ":/");
        strcat(iconName, this->iconButton());
        QPixmap icon(iconName);
        int iconHeight = icon.height(); 

        QString styleSheet = "background: url(:/%1) top center no-repeat; padding-top: %2px;";
        this->setStyleSheet(styleSheet.arg(this->iconButton()).arg(iconHeight));
        this->setIcon(QIcon());

But this stylesheet takes away all the style of the button. I want to retain the style. Please suggest ways.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Why not just call setIcon with your current icon ? No need for a style sheet
