QtCreator ToolTip for global struct
-
When hoovering over a global struct, only its adress is shown. Does anyone have similiar problems?
Other IDEs like eclipse or visual studio are able to show that and that is a big acceptance problem for qtcreator in our company.My workaround is to use the function "watchExpression" to add the hovered expression in "slotTooltipOverrideRequested" and to use WatchHandler::watcherName to get the name in watch expression from the expression name to find a watchItem. Then I use the same code that is used to show the tooltip for local variables.
The problem is, that therefore, all hovered expression are added to "Expressions".
Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this annoying bug?
