You need to subclass QPushButton and reimplement paintEvent().

1. Subclass QPushButton, e.g. class MyButton : public QPushButton.... You seem to miss public.

2. the paintEvent is a protected method, so your public override will not work well.

3. This is not referred to as creating a delegate for QPushButton. What you are doing is that you are sub-classing it and re-implementing its paintEvent.
