I want to create a squared radio button, with the text inside the button. Is that possible? I think the button shape could be changed trough css, but what about the text?
Any hint?

Rather than trying to deform a QRadioButton into something which visually resembles a QPushButton, I would simply use a QPushButton with some custom logic.
You won’t have to worry about the visual aspect then, while the logic itself is not all that hard to write.
As stated by @besworland, QPushButton inherits from QAbstractButton, which already has the option to be checkable or not. You can set this via
setCheckable(bool).To mimic the “exclusive” behaviour of a set of QRadioButtons, you can add your buttons to a QButtonGroup and make it an exclusive one. As stated in the documentation “An exclusive button group switches off all checkable (toggle) buttons except the one that was clicked.” You can use a QButtonGroup’s
setExclusive(bool)method for that.In any case, I would consider those easier options than transforming a QRadioButton to fit your needs.
