    In the Qt Designer, I made a checkbox have "testing" for both the statusTip.comment and whatsThis.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?

      @DoubleFelix
      So far as I know both of these should work. Do you mean you put them on a standalone QCheckBox 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 the comment properties.

        @DoubleFelix said in statusTip and whatsThis don't do anything:

        statusTip.comment and whatsThis.comment properties

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