    What do you mean the border is not continous? Did you reimplement the button's paintEvent?

    If you would use Qt 4.4, you could easily style a button using a stylesheet and the border-radius property to make the corners of your button round.

    Is there any reason why you're staying with Qt3?

    If you don't tell the button it should paint itself round, you can't expect it to be round. Masking only makes some regions of it transparent, but it won't look good if you just cut holes in a regular push button.

    You need to implement your own routine for drawing the button. Are you aware of what I'm telling you or are you just guessing? You need to draw a round button because the button is not round by default, so masking it will not make it round because it's rectangular.

    Don't touch DrawButton()! Reimplement paintEvent(). There are lots of examples on how to do that in the docs.
    Qt Code:
    1. void MyClass::paintEvent(QPaintEvent*){
    2. QPainter p(this);
    3. p.drawEllipse(rect());
    4. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    You must have done it incorrectly then.
