<![CDATA[Few tooltip question]]>Hi everyone, I'm a new hand in qml, and my english is very poor.
in my project, i have to implement a tooltip in some buttons.
I saw some code here, and I found out this.
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/1686
In this code, the tooltip will show up when the mouse move into the mouse area.
How can I make the tooltip show up when mouse move into the mouse area and stay in mouse area for 3 or 5 seconds?
Is there is a signal or function can detect how long the mouse stay in a mouse area?

Thank for every response

But I suppose you could solve this by starting a "Timer":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-timer.html when the mouse enters the area and interput it (using "stop()":http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/qml-timer.html#stop-method) if the mouse leaves before the Timer is finished. When the timer fires you just open the tooltip.

You can use Timer and listen hoverd event in MouseArea like this:
@ Timer {
id: timer

    repeat: false;
    running: false
    interval: 3000 // 3 sec.
    onTriggered: {
        console.log("show tip");
        button.hovered = true;
    }
}


    MouseArea {
        id: ma
        anchors.fill: parent
        hoverEnabled: true
        onHoveredChanged: {
            console.log(ma.containsMouse);
            if (ma.containsMouse) {
                timer.start();
            } else {
                button.hovered = false;
                timer.stop();
            }
        }
    }@
