Change QPushButton Icon on hover and pressed

Question

I\'m trying to change the Icon of a QpushButton on hover and pressed, I\'m using QtDesigner with stylesheets. I tried this

QpushButton{
       qproperty-icon:ur         


        

Answer 1

After reading this article and encountering similar issues. This is my work around in c++ not using style sheet from designer.

1>I create Icons one for being pressed and one for normal. In your case we would address it as the hover condition.

2>Add the icons to the resource file.

3>Use the following code for reference...

Where Add_PB is a QPushButton.

Add_PB->setStyleSheet( "*{border-image: url(:/icons/maximize.bmp);}"  
":pressed{ border-image: url(:/icons/maximize_pressed.bmp);}"); 

The key take away here is you can use setStyleSheet to set diffrent icons for different conditons. I couldnt get the above code to work until I used the * operator or "Universal Selector" in the CSS string.
