Offset for QHelpEvent pos() function

Anticross

Why in such code i get the wrong item ?

@if (event->type() == QEvent::ToolTip) {
QHelpEvent * helpEvent = static_cast<QHelpEvent *>(event);

QTableWidgetItem * item = itemAt(helpEvent->pos());

    if (item != NULL)

QToolTip::showText(helpEvent->globalPos(), GET_ADDRESS_BOOK()->getContactName(item->data(Qt::EditRole).toInt()));
else
QToolTip::showText(helpEvent->globalPos(), "");
}

return QTableWidget::event(event);@

If I add some offset in size of my vertical end horizontal header, then I have right item. So I modify my code like this:
@ if (event->type() == QEvent::ToolTip) {
QHelpEvent * helpEvent = static_cast<QHelpEvent *>(event);

int y = horizontalHeaderItem(0)->sizeHint().height();
int x = verticalHeaderItem(0)->sizeHint().width();

QTableWidgetItem * item = itemAt(helpEvent->pos() - QPoint(x,y));

    if (item != NULL)

QToolTip::showText(helpEvent->globalPos(), GET_ADDRESS_BOOK()->getContactName(item->data(Qt::EditRole).toInt()));
else
QToolTip::showText(helpEvent->globalPos(), "");
}

return QTableWidget::event(event);@
Is there any other way to solve this problem ?

Have you considered using QTableWidgetItem::setToolTip(...)?

You can use mapToGlobal(), mapFromGlobal() or mapTo() to get the right offset.
Each widget is positioned relativ to its parent.

Thanks. mapFromGlobal() is that thing that I searching for.
