DESCRIPTION
       The QToolButton class provides a quick-access button to commands or
       options, usually used inside a QToolBar.

       A tool button is a special button that provides quick-access to
       specific commands or options. As opposed to a normal command button, a
       tool button usually doesn't show a text label, but shows an icon
       instead. Its classic usage is to select tools, for example the "pen"
       tool in a drawing program. This would be implemented with a QToolButton
       as toggle button (see setToggleButton() ).

       QToolButton supports auto-raising. In auto-raise mode, the button draws
       a 3D frame only when the mouse points at it. The feature is
       automatically turned on when a button is used inside a QToolBar. Change
       it with setAutoRaise().

       A tool button's icon is set as QIconSet. This makes it possible to
       specify different pixmaps for the disabled and active state. The
       disabled pixmap is used when the button's functionality is not
       available. The active pixmap is displayed when the button is auto-
       raised because the mouse pointer is hovering over it.

       The button's look and dimension is adjustable with setUsesBigPixmap()
       and setUsesTextLabel(). When used inside a QToolBar in a QMainWindow,
       the button automatically adjusts to QMainWindow's settings (see
       QMainWindow::setUsesTextLabel() and QMainWindow::setUsesBigPixmaps()).
       The pixmap set on a QToolButton will be set to 22x22 if it is bigger
       than this size. If usesBigPixmap() is TRUE, then the pixmap will be set
       to 32x32.

       A tool button can offer additional choices in a popup menu. The feature
       is sometimes used with the "Back" button in a web browser. After
       pressing and holding the button down for a while, a menu pops up
       showing a list of possible pages to jump to. With QToolButton you can
       set a popup menu using setPopup(). The default delay is 600ms; you can
       adjust it with setPopupDelay().

   Member Type Documentation
QToolButton::TextPosition
       The position of the tool button's textLabel in relation to the tool
       button's icon.

       QToolButton::BesideIcon - The text appears beside the icon.

       QToolButton::BelowIcon - The text appears below the icon.

MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION
QToolButton::QToolButton ( QWidget * parent, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs an empty tool button called name, with parent parent.

QToolButton::QToolButton ( const QIconSet & iconSet, const QString &
       textLabel, const QString & grouptext, QObject * receiver, const char *
       slot, QToolBar * parent, const char * name = 0 )
       Constructs a tool button called name, that is a child of parent (which
       must be a QToolBar).

       The tool button will display iconSet, with its text label and tool tip
       set to textLabel and its status bar message set to grouptext. It will
       be connected to the slot in object receiver.

QToolButton::QToolButton ( ArrowType type, QWidget * parent, const char * name
       = 0 )
       Constructs a tool button as an arrow button. The ArrowType type defines
       the arrow direction. Possible values are LeftArrow, RightArrow, UpArrow
       and DownArrow.

       An arrow button has auto-repeat turned on by default.

       The parent and name arguments are sent to the QWidget constructor.

QToolButton::~QToolButton ()
       Destroys the object and frees any allocated resources.

bool QToolButton::autoRaise () const
       Returns TRUE if auto-raising is enabled; otherwise returns FALSE. See
       the "autoRaise" property for details.

QIconSet QToolButton::iconSet () const
       Returns the icon set providing the icon shown on the button. See the
       "iconSet" property for details.

QIconSet QToolButton::iconSet ( bool on ) const
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Since Qt 3.0, QIconSet contains both the On and Off icons.

       For ease of porting, this function ignores the on parameter and returns
       the iconSet property. If you relied on the on parameter, you probably
       want to update your code to use the QIconSet On/Off mechanism.

QIconSet QToolButton::offIconSet () const
       Returns the icon set that is used when the button is in an "off" state.
       See the "offIconSet" property for details.

QIconSet QToolButton::onIconSet () const
       Returns the icon set that is used when the button is in an "on" state.
       See the "onIconSet" property for details.

void QToolButton::openPopup ()
       Opens (pops up) the associated popup menu. If there is no such menu,
       this function does nothing. This function does not return until the
       popup menu has been closed by the user.

QPopupMenu * QToolButton::popup () const
       Returns the associated popup menu, or 0 if no popup menu has been
       defined.

       See also setPopup().

int QToolButton::popupDelay () const
       Returns the time delay between pressing the button and the appearance
       of the associated popup menu in milliseconds. See the "popupDelay"
       property for details.

void QToolButton::setAutoRaise ( bool enable )
       Sets whether auto-raising is enabled to enable. See the "autoRaise"
       property for details.

void QToolButton::setIconSet ( const QIconSet & ) [virtual]
       Sets the icon set providing the icon shown on the button. See the
       "iconSet" property for details.

void QToolButton::setIconSet ( const QIconSet & set, bool on )
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       This function is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Since Qt 3.0, QIconSet contains both the On and Off icons.

       For ease of porting, this function ignores the on parameter and sets
       the iconSet property. If you relied on the on parameter, you probably
       want to update your code to use the QIconSet On/Off mechanism.

       See also iconSet and QIconSet::State.

void QToolButton::setOffIconSet ( const QIconSet & )
       Sets the icon set that is used when the button is in an "off" state.
       See the "offIconSet" property for details.

void QToolButton::setOn ( bool enable ) [virtual slot]
       Sets whether this tool button is on to enable. See the "on" property
       for details.

void QToolButton::setOnIconSet ( const QIconSet & )
       Sets the icon set that is used when the button is in an "on" state. See
       the "onIconSet" property for details.

void QToolButton::setPopup ( QPopupMenu * popup )
       Associates the popup menu popup with this tool button.

       The popup will be shown each time the tool button has been pressed down
       for a certain amount of time. A typical application example is the
       "back" button in some web browsers's tool bars. If the user clicks it,
       the browser simply browses back to the previous page. If the user
       presses and holds the button down for a while, the tool button shows a
       menu containing the current history list.

       Ownership of the popup menu is not transferred to the tool button.

       See also popup().

void QToolButton::setPopupDelay ( int delay )
       Sets the time delay between pressing the button and the appearance of
       the associated popup menu in milliseconds to delay. See the
       "popupDelay" property for details.

void QToolButton::setTextLabel ( const QString & ) [slot]
       Sets the label of this button. See the "textLabel" property for
       details.

void QToolButton::setTextLabel ( const QString & newLabel, bool tipToo )
       [virtual slot]
       This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It
       behaves essentially like the above function.

       Sets the label of this button to newLabel and automatically sets it as
       a tool tip if tipToo is TRUE.

void QToolButton::setTextPosition ( TextPosition pos ) [slot]
       Sets the position of the text label of this button to pos. See the
       "textPosition" property for details.

void QToolButton::setToggleButton ( bool enable ) [virtual slot]
       Sets whether this tool button is a toggle button to enable. See the
       "toggleButton" property for details.

void QToolButton::setUsesBigPixmap ( bool enable ) [virtual slot]
       Sets whether this toolbutton uses big pixmaps to enable. See the
       "usesBigPixmap" property for details.

void QToolButton::setUsesTextLabel ( bool enable ) [virtual slot]
       Sets whether the toolbutton displays a text label below the button
       pixmap to enable. See the "usesTextLabel" property for details.

QString QToolButton::textLabel () const
       Returns the label of this button. See the "textLabel" property for
       details.

TextPosition QToolButton::textPosition () const
       Returns the position of the text label of this button. See the
       "textPosition" property for details.

void QToolButton::toggle () [slot]
       Toggles the state of this tool button.

       This function has no effect on non-toggling buttons.

       See also toggleButton and toggled().

bool QToolButton::uses3D () const [protected]
       Returns TRUE if this button should be drawn using raised edges;
       otherwise returns FALSE.

       See also drawButton().

bool QToolButton::usesBigPixmap () const
       Returns TRUE if this toolbutton uses big pixmaps; otherwise returns
       FALSE. See the "usesBigPixmap" property for details.

bool QToolButton::usesTextLabel () const
       Returns TRUE if the toolbutton displays a text label below the button
       pixmap; otherwise returns FALSE. See the "usesTextLabel" property for
       details.

   Property Documentation
bool autoRaise
       This property holds whether auto-raising is enabled.

       The default is disabled (i.e. FALSE).

       Set this property's value with setAutoRaise() and get this property's
       value with autoRaise().

BackgroundMode backgroundMode
       This property holds the toolbutton's background mode.

       Get this property with backgroundMode().

       See also QWidget::backgroundMode.

QIconSet iconSet
       This property holds the icon set providing the icon shown on the
       button.

       Setting this property sets QToolButton::pixmap to a null pixmap. There
       is no default iconset.

       See also pixmap, toggleButton, and on.

       Set this property's value with setIconSet() and get this property's
       value with iconSet().

QIconSet offIconSet
       This property holds the icon set that is used when the button is in an
       "off" state.

       This property is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Since Qt 3.0, QIconSet contains both the On and Off icons. There is now
       an QToolButton::iconSet property that replaces both
       QToolButton::onIconSet and QToolButton::offIconSet.

       For ease of porting, this property is a synonym for
       QToolButton::iconSet. You probably want to go over your application
       code and use the QIconSet On/Off mechanism.

       See also iconSet and QIconSet::State.

       Set this property's value with setOffIconSet() and get this property's
       value with offIconSet().

bool on
       This property holds whether this tool button is on.

       This property has no effect on non-toggling buttons. The default is
       FALSE (i.e. off).

       See also toggleButton and toggle().

       Set this property's value with setOn().

QIconSet onIconSet
       This property holds the icon set that is used when the button is in an
       "on" state.

       This property is obsolete. It is provided to keep old source working.
       We strongly advise against using it in new code.

       Since Qt 3.0, QIconSet contains both the On and Off icons. There is now
       an QToolButton::iconSet property that replaces both
       QToolButton::onIconSet and QToolButton::offIconSet.

       For ease of porting, this property is a synonym for
       QToolButton::iconSet. You probably want to go over your application
       code and use the QIconSet On/Off mechanism.

       See also iconSet and QIconSet::State.

       Set this property's value with setOnIconSet() and get this property's
       value with onIconSet().

QPixmap pixmap
       This property holds the pixmap of the button.

       The pixmap property has no meaning for tool buttons. Use the iconSet
       property instead.

int popupDelay
       This property holds the time delay between pressing the button and the
       appearance of the associated popup menu in milliseconds.

       Usually this is around half a second. A value of 0 draws the down arrow
       button to the side of the button which can be used to open up the popup
       menu.

       See also setPopup().

       Set this property's value with setPopupDelay() and get this property's
       value with popupDelay().

QString textLabel
       This property holds the label of this button.

       Setting this property automatically sets the text as a tool tip too.
       There is no default text.

       Set this property's value with setTextLabel() and get this property's
       value with textLabel().

TextPosition textPosition
       This property holds the position of the text label of this button.

       Set this property's value with setTextPosition() and get this
       property's value with textPosition().

bool toggleButton
       This property holds whether this tool button is a toggle button.

       Toggle buttons have an on/off state similar to check boxes. A tool
       button is not a toggle button by default.

       See also on and toggle().

       Set this property's value with setToggleButton().

bool usesBigPixmap
       This property holds whether this toolbutton uses big pixmaps.

       QToolButton automatically connects this property to the relevant signal
       in the QMainWindow in which it resides. We strongly recommend that you
       use QMainWindow::setUsesBigPixmaps() instead.

       This property's default is TRUE.

       Warning: If you set some buttons (in a QMainWindow) to have big pixmaps
       and others to have small pixmaps, QMainWindow may not get the geometry
       right.

       Set this property's value with setUsesBigPixmap() and get this
       property's value with usesBigPixmap().

bool usesTextLabel
       This property holds whether the toolbutton displays a text label below
       the button pixmap.

       The default is FALSE.

       QToolButton automatically connects this slot to the relevant signal in
       the QMainWindow in which is resides.

       Set this property's value with setUsesTextLabel() and get this
       property's value with usesTextLabel().
