QToolbar tooltip

[amezei]

Hi!

Is there an option to show the tooltip text when the app window is not in focus? (not the active window) I need it f.e. by the toolbar actions.

Thank for the reply.

Try:

toolBar->setAttribute( Qt::WA_AlwaysShowToolTips );

if that doesn't work, then try

toolBar->window()->setAttribute( Qt::WA_AlwaysShowToolTips );

and if that also doesnt't work try the following:

foreach( QWIdget* w, toolBar->findChildren<QWidget*>() )
    w->setAttribute( Qt::WA_AlwaysShowToolTips );

:)
sry, but i am not 100% sure where Qt expects the attribute to be set.

Thank you for the answer!
The second one worked for me, but the method name is setAttribute()! (I use other Qt version maybe :))

yes, of course. I was typing it just from the top of my head, so i mixed it up.
