Button trouble

I am having problems inserting a button to an HBox. I can add any control I want except for a button. At first I thought it wasn't showing up but I changed the background color to black and I get a black box to show up. The text from the button is missing too.

this produces a yellow box with no text:

Source code

QButton *b = new QButton(l);
b->setText("OK");
b->setFixedSize(50, 50);
b->setBackgroundColor(yellow);
l->addWidget(b);


this works correctly

Source code

QSlider *b = new QSlider(0, 10, 1, 0, Qt::Horizontal, l);
l->addWidget(b);


here's what addWidget() is

Source code

void ToolboxWidget::addWidget( QWidget *w )
{
    layout->insertWidget(-1, w);
}

Did you ever read the QButton doc? ;)

It says:
"The QButton class is the abstract base class of button widgets, providing functionality common to buttons."

Conclusion: If you want a push button, use QPushButton. If you want a check box, use QCheckBox.
