<!-- $$$QAbstractButton-description -->
<div class="descr">
<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QAbstractButton class is the abstract base class of button widgets, providing functionality common to buttons.</p>
<p>This class implements an <i>abstract</i> button. Subclasses of this class handle user actions, and specify how the button is drawn.</p>
<p>QAbstractButton provides support for both push buttons and checkable (toggle) buttons. Checkable buttons are implemented in the <a href="qradiobutton.html">QRadioButton</a> and <a href="qcheckbox.html">QCheckBox</a> classes. Push buttons are implemented in the <a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a> and <a href="qtoolbutton.html">QToolButton</a> classes; these also provide toggle behavior if required.</p>
<p>Any button can display a label containing text and an icon. <a href="qabstractbutton.html#text-prop">setText</a>() sets the text; <a href="qabstractbutton.html#icon-prop">setIcon</a>() sets the icon. If a button is disabled, its label is changed to give the button a "disabled" appearance.</p>
<p>If the button is a text button with a string containing an ampersand ('&'), QAbstractButton automatically creates a shortcut key. For example:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type"><a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>button <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a></span>(tr(<span class="string">"Ro&ck && Roll"</span>)<span class="operator">,</span> <span class="keyword">this</span>);</pre>
<p>The <b>Alt+C</b> shortcut is assigned to the button, i.e., when the user presses <b>Alt+C</b> the button will call <a href="qabstractbutton.html#animateClick">animateClick</a>(). See the <a href="qshortcut.html#mnemonic">QShortcut</a> documentation for details (to display an actual ampersand, use '&&').</p>
<p>You can also set a custom shortcut key using the <a href="qabstractbutton.html#shortcut-prop">setShortcut</a>() function. This is useful mostly for buttons that do not have any text, because they have no automatic shortcut.</p>
<pre class="cpp"> button<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qabstractbutton.html#icon-prop">setIcon</a>(<span class="type"><a href="qicon.html">QIcon</a></span>(<span class="string">":/images/print.png"</span>));
button<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span><a href="qabstractbutton.html#shortcut-prop">setShortcut</a>(tr(<span class="string">"Alt+F7"</span>));</pre>
<p>All of the buttons provided by Qt (<a href="qpushbutton.html">QPushButton</a>, <a href="qtoolbutton.html">QToolButton</a>, <a href="qcheckbox.html">QCheckBox</a>, and <a href="qradiobutton.html">QRadioButton</a>) can display both <a href="qabstractbutton.html#text-prop">text</a> and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#icon-prop">icons</a>.</p>
<p>A button can be made the default button in a dialog are provided by <a href="qpushbutton.html#default-prop">QPushButton::setDefault</a>() and <a href="qpushbutton.html#autoDefault-prop">QPushButton::setAutoDefault</a>().</p>
<p>QAbstractButton provides most of the states used for buttons:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#down-prop">isDown</a>() indicates whether the button is <i>pressed</i> down.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#checked-prop">isChecked</a>() indicates whether the button is <i>checked</i>. Only checkable buttons can be checked and unchecked (see below).</li>
<li><a href="qwidget.html#enabled-prop">isEnabled</a>() indicates whether the button can be pressed by the user. <b>Note:</b> As opposed to other widgets, buttons derived from QAbstractButton accepts mouse and context menu events when disabled.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#autoRepeat-prop">setAutoRepeat</a>() sets whether the button will auto-repeat if the user holds it down. <a href="qabstractbutton.html#autoRepeatDelay-prop">autoRepeatDelay</a> and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#autoRepeatInterval-prop">autoRepeatInterval</a> define how auto-repetition is done.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#checkable-prop">setCheckable</a>() sets whether the button is a toggle button or not.</li>
</ul>
<p>The difference between <a href="qabstractbutton.html#down-prop">isDown</a>() and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#checked-prop">isChecked</a>() is as follows. When the user clicks a toggle button to check it, the button is first <i>pressed</i> then released into the <i>checked</i> state. When the user clicks it again (to uncheck it), the button moves first to the <i>pressed</i> state, then to the <i>unchecked</i> state (<a href="qabstractbutton.html#checked-prop">isChecked</a>() and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#down-prop">isDown</a>() are both false).</p>
<p>QAbstractButton provides four signals:</p>
<ol class="1">
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#pressed">pressed</a>() is emitted when the left mouse button is pressed while the mouse cursor is inside the button.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#released">released</a>() is emitted when the left mouse button is released.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>() is emitted when the button is first pressed and then released, when the shortcut key is typed, or when <a href="qabstractbutton.html#click">click</a>() or <a href="qabstractbutton.html#animateClick">animateClick</a>() is called.</li>
<li><a href="qabstractbutton.html#toggled">toggled</a>() is emitted when the state of a toggle button changes.</li>
</ol>
<p>To subclass QAbstractButton, you must reimplement at least <a href="qabstractbutton.html#paintEvent">paintEvent</a>() to draw the button's outline and its text or pixmap. It is generally advisable to reimplement <a href="qwidget.html#sizeHint-prop">sizeHint</a>() as well, and sometimes <a href="qabstractbutton.html#hitButton">hitButton</a>() (to determine whether a button press is within the button). For buttons with more than two states (like tri-state buttons), you will also have to reimplement <a href="qabstractbutton.html#checkStateSet">checkStateSet</a>() and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#nextCheckState">nextCheckState</a>().</p>

<h3 class="fn"><a name="autoExclusive-prop"></a><span class="name">autoExclusive</span> : <span class="type">bool</span></h3>
<p>This property holds whether auto-exclusivity is enabled.</p>
<p>If auto-exclusivity is enabled, checkable buttons that belong to the same parent widget behave as if they were part of the same exclusive button group. In an exclusive button group, only one button can be checked at any time; checking another button automatically unchecks the previously checked one.</p>
<p>The property has no effect on buttons that belong to a button group.</p>
<p>autoExclusive is off by default, except for radio buttons.</p>

<p>If autoRepeat is enabled, then the <a href="qabstractbutton.html#pressed">pressed</a>(), <a href="qabstractbutton.html#released">released</a>(), and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>() signals are emitted at regular intervals when the button is down. autoRepeat is off by default. The initial delay and the repetition interval are defined in milliseconds by <a href="qabstractbutton.html#autoRepeatDelay-prop">autoRepeatDelay</a> and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#autoRepeatInterval-prop">autoRepeatInterval</a>.</p>
<p>Note: If a button is pressed down by a shortcut key, then auto-repeat is enabled and timed by the system and not by this class. The <a href="qabstractbutton.html#pressed">pressed</a>(), <a href="qabstractbutton.html#released">released</a>(), and <a href="qabstractbutton.html#clicked">clicked</a>() signals will be emitted like in the normal case.</p>

<p>This signal is emitted whenever a checkable button changes its state. <i>checked</i> is true if the button is checked, or false if the button is unchecked.</p>
<p>This may be the result of a user action, <a href="qabstractbutton.html#click">click</a>() slot activation, or because <a href="qabstractbutton.html#checked-prop">setChecked</a>() was called.</p>
<p>The states of buttons in exclusive button groups are updated before this signal is emitted. This means that slots can act on either the "off" signal or the "on" signal emitted by the buttons in the group whose states have changed.</p>
<p>For example, a slot that reacts to signals emitted by newly checked buttons but which ignores signals from buttons that have been unchecked can be implemented using the following pattern:</p>
<pre class="cpp"> <span class="type">void</span> MyWidget<span class="operator">::</span>reactToToggle(<span class="type">bool</span> checked)
{
<span class="keyword">if</span> (checked) {
<span class="comment">// Examine the new button states.</span>
<span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span><span class="operator">.</span>
}
}</pre>
<p>Button groups can be created using the <a href="qbuttongroup.html">QButtonGroup</a> class, and updates to the button states monitored with the <a href="qbuttongroup.html#buttonClicked">QButtonGroup::buttonClicked</a>() signal.</p>
