[Solved] setToolTip(QString()) leaves previous tooltip visible

Asperamanca

I have a widget where the tooltip dynamically changes, depending on the mouse cursor position. Within the mouseMoveEvent, I check whether the cursor is in one of several pre-defined areas, and set the tooltip accordingly.

This part works just fine.

However, in some cases I do not want to show any tooltip at all. In this case, I call

@setToolTip(QString());@

When I move the mouse cursor from an area with tooltip to one without, the last tooltip remains, although I no longer have any tooltip defined.

Why does calling setToolTip without any string not hide the tooltip? Is there any way I can manually hide the tooltip?

Forgive

Could you show us the part of your code that does the tooltip appear?

You could do this?

@if(myCursor.selectedText() == "Hello!") {
QToolTip::showText([...]);
} else {
QTooltip::hideText();
}@

I do not use QTooltip. I simply subclassed from QLabel, and use setTooltip to change the text that should be displayed.

Sorry, I misunderstood your posting at first.

Manually calling QTooltip::hideText() does what I need.

Thanks!
