I draw it out, but I found I can only use mouse to use this widget and I don't know how to involved keyboard control in it. I think I should use a widget including five QPushButtons, but that would not be elegant design. I need the directional control widget: 1. keyboard controlling; 2. Outlook and design should be elegant. I currently can't figure out how to do this, I know it's really a simple (maybe a bit of stupid) question, but if somebody can help, I really appreciate.

Hello,
try overloading the keyboard related events:

http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qwidget.html#keyReleaseEvent

Hope this helps
