Re: Qbutton question

Pat,

  This is your lucky day. I recently had the need for a nice LED and
just wrote one from scratch. The source is below, provided "as-is".
I implemented this as a button so I can click on it if needed, but you
can simply call setFlat( true ) and setEnabled( false ) to disable its
clickability. It supports a text overlay, but I usually don't use text
*inside* the led, instead adding a label beside or below it. I typically
construct the LED with code like

    #include "CLedWidget.h"
        ...
        QFont fnt( "Sans", 8, QFont::Bold );
        m_led = new CLedWidget( "", 8, this );
        m_led->setFixedSize( 32, 32 );
        m_led->setFont( fnt );
        ...
Once it has been constructed, you can call setOn( bool ) or isOn() to
set/get the state of the LED.

  Enjoy, and feel free to modify!
