\class QToolTip qtooltip.h
\brief The QToolTip class provides tool tips (balloon help) for
any widget or rectangular part of a widget.
\ingroup helpsystem
\mainclass
The tip is a short, single line of text reminding the user of the
widget's or rectangle's function. It is drawn immediately below
the region in a distinctive black-on-yellow combination.
The tip can be any Rich-Text formatted string.
QToolTipGroup provides a way for tool tips to display another text
elsewhere (most often in a \link QStatusBar status bar\endlink).
At any point in time, QToolTip is either dormant or active. In
dormant mode the tips are not shown and in active mode they are.
The mode is global, not particular to any one widget.
QToolTip switches from dormant to active mode when the user hovers
the mouse on a tip-equipped region for a second or so and remains
active until the user either clicks a mouse button, presses a key,
lets the mouse hover for five seconds or moves the mouse outside
\e all tip-equipped regions for at least a second.
The QToolTip class can be used in three different ways:
\list 1
\i Adding a tip to an entire widget.
\i Adding a tip to a fixed rectangle within a widget.
\i Adding a tip to a dynamic rectangle within a widget.
\endlist
To add a tip to a widget, call the \e static function
QToolTip::add() with the widget and tip as arguments:
\code
QToolTip::add( quitButton, "Leave the application" );
\endcode
This is the simplest and most common use of QToolTip. The tip
will be deleted automatically when \e quitButton is deleted, but
you can remove it yourself, too:
\code
QToolTip::remove( quitButton );
\endcode
You can also display another text (typically in a \link QStatusBar
status bar),\endlink courtesy of \l{QToolTipGroup}. This example
assumes that \e grp is a \c{QToolTipGroup *} and is already
connected to the appropriate status bar:
\code
QToolTip::add( quitButton, "Leave the application", grp,
"Leave the application, prompting to save if necessary" );
QToolTip::add( closeButton, "Close this window", grp,
"Close this window, prompting to save if necessary" );
\endcode
To add a tip to a fixed rectangle within a widget, call the static
function QToolTip::add() with the widget, rectangle and tip as
arguments. (See the \c tooltip/tooltip.cpp example.) Again, you
can supply a \c{QToolTipGroup *} and another text if you want.
Both of these are one-liners and cover the majority of cases. The
third and most general way to use QToolTip requires you to
reimplement a pure virtual function to decide whether to pop up a
tool tip. The \c tooltip/tooltip.cpp example demonstrates this
too. This mode can be used to implement tips for text that can
move as the user scrolls, for example.
To use QToolTip like this, you must subclass QToolTip and
reimplement maybeTip(). QToolTip calls maybeTip() when a tip
should pop up, and maybeTip() decides whether to show a tip.
Tool tips can be globally disabled using
QToolTip::setGloballyEnabled() or disabled in groups with
QToolTipGroup::setEnabled().
You can retrieve the text of a tooltip for a given position within
a widget using textFor().
The global tooltip font and palette can be set with the static
setFont() and setPalette() functions respectively.

\fn virtual void QToolTip::maybeTip( const QPoint & p);
This pure virtual function is half of the most versatile interface
QToolTip offers.
It is called when there is a possibility that a tool tip should be
shown and must decide whether there is a tool tip for the point \a
p in the widget that this QToolTip object relates to. If so,
maybeTip() must call tip() with the rectangle the tip applies to,
the tip's text and optionally the QToolTipGroup details and the
geometry in screen coordinates.
\a p is given in that widget's local coordinates. Most maybeTip()
implementations will be of the form:
\code
if ( <something> ) {
tip( <something>, <something> );
}
\endcode
The first argument to tip() (a rectangle) must encompass \a p,
i.e. the tip must apply to the current mouse position; otherwise
QToolTip's operation is undefined.
Note that the tip will disappear once the mouse moves outside the
rectangle you give to tip(), and will not reappear if the mouse
moves back in: maybeTip() is called again instead.

\brief The QToolTipGroup class collects tool tips into related groups.
\ingroup helpsystem
Tool tips can display \e two texts: one in the tip and
(optionally) one that is typically in a \link QStatusBar status
bar\endlink. QToolTipGroup provides a way to link tool tips to
this status bar.
QToolTipGroup has practically no API; it is only used as an
argument to QToolTip's member functions, for example like this:
\code
QToolTipGroup * grp = new QToolTipGroup( this, "tool tip relay" );
connect( grp, SIGNAL(showTip(const QString&)),
myLabel, SLOT(setText(const QString&)) );
connect( grp, SIGNAL(removeTip()),
myLabel, SLOT(clear()) );
QToolTip::add( giraffeButton, "feed giraffe",
grp, "Give the giraffe a meal" );
QToolTip::add( gorillaButton, "feed gorilla",
grp, "Give the gorilla a meal" );
\endcode
This example makes the object myLabel (which you must supply)
display (one assumes, though you can make myLabel do anything, of
course) the strings "Give the giraffe a meal" and "Give the
gorilla a meal" while the relevant tool tips are being displayed.
Deleting a tool tip group removes the tool tips in it.

tip.
