QListView::iconMode Infopanel

[Neko]

Hey guys,
i have created and filled a QListView with IconMode Settings.

What i need now is an infopanel next to a selected icon.
Here an example:

It's fine for me if it overlaps the other icons.
Is there any way to do it ? If yes, how can i achieve this ?

Hi
Why not just use a QListView in list mode next to the
QListView in icon mode ?

My goal was to have the InfoBox right next to the selected icon.

Else i would simply create a non-modal dialog and show this above everything.

@Neko
Ok then you need a floating window.
Like you suggest, a non modal dialog.

Since you show info with scrollbar, i assume using tooltip is not enough.

Okay, is there a way to get the position of my clicked icon and position the non modal dialog right next to it (on the right side)?

Hi
yes there is visualRect()

Thanks, i'll try it

@Neko
Just as note.
the rect might be in local coordinates so you might need to use
the mapTo function to translate the x,y to world coordinates to position a dialog,
