space around qbutton text

user4592357

i create a custom qmsgbox like this:

QMessageBox msgBox;
msgBox.setText("text");
msgBox.setWindowTitle("title");
const auto yesButton = msgBox.addButton(QObject::tr("Yes"), QMessageBox::YesRole);
const auto noButton = msgBox.addButton(QObject::tr("No"), QMessageBox::NoRole);

the text of buttons, however, doesn't have left and right margins and i have to put spaces around Yes and No to make them look less ugly. any suggestions?

Button style like margins or whatever, instead of altering text?

Fuel

you cant setStyleSheet of the Buttons?

What OS ?

No such issue in Ubuntu and MacOS
Anyway, there's an extra margin around the box in OSX (in all Qt 5 versions as far as i know)

@mrjj

win10, qt5.6.2

hmm this is really weird. the actual text that i'm setting to the button is longer than the 'yes' and 'no' so that's the reason. i guess i need to set a width to the button

anyways, thanks for the help

Yep seems you are right if u use all space so buttons are expanded, then no extra space is added.
