Tooltip to MenuBar Items
Message 1 in thread
Hi,
is there a possibility to let a tooltip point to a menubar item?
As I understand the doc it is only possible to make a tooltip for the
entire menubar, not for single items (which is what you need ...).
Maybe it is possible via using the QRect form of the constructor, but
that seems like a bit of work.
Cheers, Ulrich

We're adding this and more in 2.0. Ditto popup menu items.

You'd need access to the private function itemRect() to make that
work.

kpanel (KDE) has tooltips on menubar items since quite a while. The trick was
to use the highlight signal of QPopupMenu as indicator and the current cursor
position QCursor.pos() + some offset to position them.
