100
101The QToolButton class provides a quick-access button to
102commands or options, usually used inside a <a href="qtoolbar.html">QToolBar</a>.
103<p>
104
105<p> A tool button is a special button that provides quick-access to
106specific commands or options. As opposed to a normal command
107button, a tool button usually doesn't show a text label, but shows
108an icon instead. Its classic usage is to select tools, for example
109the "pen" tool in a drawing program. This would be implemented
110with a QToolButton as toggle button (see <a href="#setToggleButton">setToggleButton</a>() ).
111<p> QToolButton supports auto-raising. In auto-raise mode, the button
112draws a 3D frame only when the mouse points at it. The feature is
113automatically turned on when a button is used inside a QToolBar.
114Change it with <a href="#setAutoRaise">setAutoRaise</a>().
115<p> A tool button's icon is set as <a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a>. This makes it possible to
116specify different pixmaps for the disabled and active state. The
117disabled pixmap is used when the button's functionality is not
118available. The active pixmap is displayed when the button is
119auto-raised because the mouse pointer is hovering over it.
120<p> The button's look and dimension is adjustable with
121<a href="#setUsesBigPixmap">setUsesBigPixmap</a>() and <a href="#setUsesTextLabel">setUsesTextLabel</a>(). When used inside a
122<a href="qtoolbar.html">QToolBar</a> in a <a href="qmainwindow.html">QMainWindow</a>, the button automatically adjusts to
123QMainWindow's settings (see <a href="qmainwindow.html#setUsesTextLabel">QMainWindow::setUsesTextLabel</a>() and
124<a href="qmainwindow.html#setUsesBigPixmaps">QMainWindow::setUsesBigPixmaps</a>()). The pixmap set on a QToolButton
125will be set to 22x22 if it is bigger than this size. If
126<a href="#usesBigPixmap">usesBigPixmap</a>() is TRUE, then the pixmap will be set to 32x32.
127<p> A tool button can offer additional choices in a popup menu. The
128feature is sometimes used with the "Back" button in a web browser.
129After pressing and holding the button down for a while, a menu
130pops up showing a list of possible pages to jump to. With
131QToolButton you can set a popup menu using <a href="#setPopup">setPopup</a>(). The default
132delay is 600ms; you can adjust it with <a href="#setPopupDelay">setPopupDelay</a>().

148</h3>
149Constructs an empty tool button called <em>name</em>, with parent <em>parent</em>.
150
151<h3 class=fn><a name="QToolButton-2"></a>QToolButton::QToolButton ( const&nbsp;<a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;iconSet, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;textLabel, const&nbsp;<a href="qstring.html">QString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;grouptext, <a href="qobject.html">QObject</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;receiver, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;slot, <a href="qtoolbar.html">QToolBar</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )
152</h3>
153Constructs a tool button called <em>name</em>, that is a child of <em>parent</em> (which must be a <a href="qtoolbar.html">QToolBar</a>).
154<p> The tool button will display <em>iconSet</em>, with its text label and
155tool tip set to <em>textLabel</em> and its status bar message set to <em>grouptext</em>. It will be connected to the <em>slot</em> in object <em>receiver</em>.
156
157<h3 class=fn><a name="QToolButton-3"></a>QToolButton::QToolButton ( <a href="qt.html#ArrowType-enum">ArrowType</a>&nbsp;type, <a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;parent, const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;name = 0 )

162constructor.

180parameter, you probably want to update your code to use the QIconSet
181On/Off mechanism.

230</h3>
231Associates the popup menu <em>popup</em> with this tool button.
232<p> The popup will be shown each time the tool button has been pressed
233down for a certain amount of time. A typical application example
234is the "back" button in some web browsers's tool bars. If the user
235clicks it, the browser simply browses back to the previous page.
236If the user presses and holds the button down for a while, the
237tool button shows a menu containing the current history list.

309<p>This property holds the icon set that is used when the button is in an "off" state.
310<p><b>This property is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
311<p> Since Qt 3.0, <a href="qiconset.html">QIconSet</a> contains both the On and Off icons. There is
312now an <a href="#iconSet-prop">QToolButton::iconSet</a> property that replaces both <a href="#onIconSet-prop">QToolButton::onIconSet</a> and <a href="#offIconSet-prop">QToolButton::offIconSet</a>.
313<p> For ease of porting, this property is a synonym for <a href="#iconSet-prop">QToolButton::iconSet</a>. You probably want to go over your application
314code and use the QIconSet On/Off mechanism.

340<p>This property holds the time delay between pressing the button and the appearance of the associated popup menu in milliseconds.
