How to set tooltip for only QIcon which is inside QTreeWidgetIteam?

[bhvn]

In QTreeWidgetIteam have two different elements. QIcon and QLebel.
If we set the tool tip like below, then it will give the tooltip to the entire cell of QTreeWidgetIteam.

pTreeWidgetItem->setToolTip(ColNum, "Tooltip Text");

I have to set the tooltip only on the Icon inside QTreeWidgetIteam.
How to achieve this?

Let me know If there is any query on this question.

Hello and welcome.

I think this will be tricky, no easy way to do it. I can only see overriding the whole QTreeWidget's event(QEvent *event) and doing your own calculations for the mouse position to decide whether to show or ignore. See https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtwidgets-widgets-tooltips-example.html for inspiration. But I don't think you can even discover the icon's position.

Meanwhile, I do not understand

In QTreeWidgetIteam have two different elements. QIcon and QLebel.

QTreeWidgetItems do not have widgets like QIcon or QLabel, maybe you are using QTreeWidget::setItemWidget(). You do not explain. But in such a case can't you set the tooltip on whatever widget you are placing there if you only want it to apply to that widget?

I'm using for ICON qTreeWidgetItems->setIcon(COLUMN_NO, QIcon(statusIconRes)); And for text I'm are using
qTreeWidgetItems->setData();
