WhatsThis for custom widgets
Message 1 in thread
What is the recommended way to set a WhatsThis text for a custom widget which
contains more than one child widget? In Qt 3, calling QWhatsThis::add(widget,
text) set the whatsthis text for the custom widget as a whole, including its
child widgets. But in Qt 4, the whatsthis handling seems to be done
separately for each child widget, so that an event filter needs to be
installed to achieve the same effect as in Qt 3.
I've had some difficulty getting this to work for some child or inherited
widgets. Is setting whatsthis texts really so difficult, or have I missed
something?
