statusTip and whatsThis don't do anything
-
In the Qt Designer, I made a checkbox have "testing" for both the
statusTip.comment
andwhatsThis.comment
properties. However, when I hover over this widget, nothing shows in either the status bar or the yellow box that I would expect.
Is there something else I need to enable? -

So far as I know both of these should work. Do you mean you put them on a standaloneQCheckBox
you created, or something else? You realise these would only show when running your executable, not if you mean you are expecting to see these in Designer? If necessary show the.ui
file (preferable a minimal example you create, not some big UI). State what platform you are on and what version of Qt you are using.UPDATE
@SimonSchroeder below is correct, I did not notice you were talking about thecomment
properties. -

statusTip.comment and whatsThis.comment properties
Well, comments are – what a surprise – comments. You have to enter the text to be displayed for
statusTip
orwhatsThis
directly. Comments are usually used for translation.
