Integration of header comments as help

json_7

Hi there,
QT Creator is really a great software as it provides auto completion of explaining comments, e.g.:
/**
*@brief
*@param
*@return
*/

So i woundered if it is possible to bind the comments a developer wrote in a header file (of like i did it) as F1-Help in QT Creator.

Does anyone know if it is possible?
Thanks, Cheers!

You'll need to compile them to the QDoc files and add to Qt Creator, if I am not mistaken.

However, I document header files for use with Doxygen and while working on the project I get hover tolltips from those comments on the go.

yeah, that's possible if you create a .qch (Qt compiled help) file with either doxygen or qdoc from these comments.

You will have to google for the exact steps, I've never done that myself.

Yeah, thank you two. Meanwhile i found out how to do that with doxygen (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31339007/qtcreator-and-doxygen#34707377).
When you're looking closer you even can see that QTCreator itself calls these comments "doxygen comments".
