2) Down, enabled
3) Up, disabled
4) Down, disabled.

Are you using QAbstractButton::setIcon()?

[damodharan]

no

QPushButton->SetIcon(icon);

I have bad news for you. QPushButton doesn't have SetIcon method:

Do you want to show us your code snippet how do you load pixmaps, create icons and set them to the buttons?

And this is said by forum expert.. Have you forgotten about inheritance? QPushButton inherits ::setIcon() method.

The way to have any number of icons for a button or any control:
Write custom SLOTS: write custom slot, which will do the standart slot action + will change the icon with ->setIcon() method.

Example:
connect(myPushButton, SIGNALS(clicked()), classForSlots, SLOTS(on_myPushButton_clicked));

void on_myPushButton_clicked()
{
myPushButton->setIcon(icon);
<some code for app logic>
}

Just choose the right signal, or even write your own new signal.

Or you can do pretty much the same thing through style sheets (not set icon, but set background or border):

DataEntryWidget QPushButton#upButton {
margin: 0px;
border-width: 8px;
border-image: url(:/DataEntryWidget/images/button_big_blank_normal.png) 8 8 8 8;
}
DataEntryWidget QPushButton#upButton:pressed {
margin: 0px;
border-width: 8px;
border-image: url(:/DataEntryWidget/images/button_big_blank_selected.png) 8 8 8 8;
}

Yes, I also have a feeling that question is about styling QPushButton. But still not sure. Do not forget about "enabled" and "disabled" pseudo-states.

There's enough for everyone:

checked/unchecked, disabled/enabled, pressed, focused, and many more.
