What do you mean? You want to have a delay before showing the tool tip? If so then why not using QTimer?

Check your parameters... you have no Text-parameter there...

QToolTip::showText( this->mapToGlobal( QPoint( 0, 0 ) ), "MY_TOOLTIP", qTable, rect,3000);

What is qTable in your case?

Hi
Works on linux and windows for me. (Qt 5.9)
it stays the time you tell it.
Do note however, you CANNOT click on the screen in the meantime. then it goes away at once.

@mrjj no I am not clicking any where , still it is not showing for the specified time and also i will be showing some status in the tool tip which will be updated in a particular time period how can this be done ?

ManiRon

@mrjj it display the tool tip only for few milli seconds , is there something wrong i am doing ?

      QRect rect;
rect.setHeight(ui->pushbtn->height());
rect.setWidth(ui->pushbtn->width());

QToolTip::showText( this->mapToGlobal( QPoint( 0, 0 ) ), qTable,ui->pushbtn,rect,5000);

Hi
What Qt version are you using?
It works for me with Qt5.9/5.13 on Windows and Linux.
