Best way to implement a toggle button with Qt [duplicate]

Question

What is the best way to implement a toggle button with the Qt framework ?

EDIT:

The only possibility I am aware of is the QPushButton. According to Qt documentation the QPushButton::setCheckable(bool) allows to have a on/off behavior. How to make it appear such as below ? Knowing I use Qt 5.1.1

Maybe QPushButton::setCheckable(bool) property makes it toggle? – Bipartite

doc.qt.io/qt-5/qpushbutton.html - search for "toggle" in the page – Hudis

If I use such a function, how can I make my ToggleButton appear such as a toggle button ? knowing that I use Qt 5.1.1 – Defelice

The simplest way is to use an image. Put one for pressed and one of released. – Prey

You can set background/border images to it using stylesheets. See pseudo states for stylesheets. – Verney

If you want to make the button feel like on iOS. See this https://mcmap.net/q/403422/-toggle-switch-in-qt - it involves many lines of codes and anmiation. – Prey

Answer 1

I'm not sure for QPushButton, but for QCheckboxes, you can set an icon as a stylesheet, meaning that you can give any appearance you want to your checkbox. So your "on" image could be the icon for state "checked" and your "off" image for state "unchecked" (http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/stylesheet-examples.html#customizing-qcheckbox)
