Read about the Qt Property System , this is just like a usual class method but it can be used with Qt's meta-object system:

 QPushButton *button = new QPushButton;
 QObject *object = button;

 button->setDown(true);
 object->setProperty("down", true);

Also these properties will be visible under Qt Designer too so you could create a custom widget with some properties and hook it up in Qt Designer, see this article for details.
