How do I override the Button class Tip handling function [message #61682]

I wish to override the Button class tip display function so I can show different tips according to the data available.

I cannot find the function that handles showing the tip on hovering over the button in order to override it in my button subclass.

Thanks.

Hi awksed,

The function you are looking for is Ctrl::Tip().,
You don't need to override it and you can't anyway, it is not virtual.
Just set the text according to your need/data, e.g:

    button.Tip("This is a tooltip");

Note that, you can use Qtf with tips. (just prepend "\1" to string).

Best regards,
Oblivion

Hi Oblivion,

Thank you for your reply.

For the sake clarity the question was not how do I set the tip text (which is well documented) but which function, presumably within Ctrl, handles the hover and displays the tip message.

Regards,

awksed
