3dsMax 2019 not displaying QPushbutton icon AND text

Anonymous — Fri, 04 Sep 2020 01:00:44 GMT

If a QPushbutton is created with an icon and text in QtDesigner or programmatically, then opened in Max2019, the icon appears, but the text is not visible.

Testing by adding a background-color stylesheet suggest that Max is somehow adjusting the margins of the icon to be the entire size of the QPushbutton. This is compared to testing in QtDesigner or just from python, both of which work correctly.

Any suggestions on how to get Max to stop jacking with my Qt widgets?

Thanks!

what are we talking about? C++, Python, or MaxScript somehow?

same issue: c++ qpushbutton

max2020

when assigning an icon, it does not show the text anymore. Did anyone solve this?

Yep - but displays bad: The icon is positioned differently. Have to re-invent the wheel and will create it on my own.. Thx

You will develop this for me? 😉
Seem to be not solveable within a minute. Users just have to live without icons and once again I blame AD for that 😉

don't blame AD too much, especially not undeservedly. 😉

QPushButton does not support text under the icon. This is a fairly well-known limitation.

I just wanted to get the text to the right of the icon, as it appears in the designer.

It looks like it's not supported anymore... you have two options - draw pixmap yourself with painter or add layout to button.

with the second case you will get almost the same as a toolbutton

I gave it a final test with a standalone qt app with the same version max uses and it worked there.

It's too minor for me to care any more. Thx.

Are you saying you can display a QPushButton with an icon and text in any alignment combination?

Yes. The icon and the text is displayed - exactly the same way as qt-designer does.

Hmm... I, for example, don't know how to make a QPushButton without an additional layout with an icon and text underneath using Qt Designer. Could you give me a hint?

I was not talking about underneath. The text shows to the right of the icon.

without max probably yes, but with max the text will be gone!

they are made with an additional layout set into the QPushButton and two QLabel widgets (Icon and Text) added to the layout.

It is generally easier to use QToolButtons, but QToolButton has specific behaviour and style compared to QPushButton's, and overriding them to match QPushButton's is more difficult than making a QPushButton with a layout inside.

Cool! Were they all done via stylesheets or is extra code necessary?
