<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQToolTip class provides tool tips (balloon help) for
any widget or rectangular part of a widget.
<p>
<p> 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.
<p> The tip can be any Rich-Text formatted string.
<p> <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a> provides a way for tool tips to display another text
elsewhere (most often in a <a href="ntqstatusbar.html">status bar</a>).
<p> At any point in time, TQToolTip 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.
<p> TQToolTip 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
<em>all</em> tip-equipped regions for at least a second.
<p> The TQToolTip class can be used in three different ways:
<ol type=1>
<li> Adding a tip to an entire widget.
<li> Adding a tip to a fixed rectangle within a widget.
<li> Adding a tip to a dynamic rectangle within a widget.
</ol>
<p> To add a tip to a widget, call the <em>static</em> function
<a href="#add">TQToolTip::add</a>() with the widget and tip as arguments:
<p> <pre>
TQToolTip::<a href="#add">add</a>( quitButton, "Leave the application" );
</pre>
<p> This is the simplest and most common use of TQToolTip. The tip
will be deleted automatically when <em>quitButton</em> is deleted, but
you can remove it yourself, too:
<p> <pre>
TQToolTip::<a href="#remove">remove</a>( quitButton );
</pre>
<p> You can also display another text (typically in a <a href="ntqstatusbar.html">status bar),</a> courtesy of <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a>. This example
assumes that <em>grp</em> is a <tt>TQToolTipGroup *</tt> and is already
connected to the appropriate status bar:
<p> <pre>
TQToolTip::<a href="#add">add</a>( quitButton, "Leave the application", grp,
"Leave the application, prompting to save if necessary" );
TQToolTip::<a href="#add">add</a>( closeButton, "Close this window", grp,
"Close this window, prompting to save if necessary" );
</pre>
<p> To add a tip to a fixed rectangle within a widget, call the static
function <a href="#add">TQToolTip::add</a>() with the widget, rectangle and tip as
arguments. (See the <a href="tooltip-example.html">tooltip/tooltip.cpp</a> example.) Again, you
can supply a <tt>TQToolTipGroup *</tt> and another text if you want.
<p> Both of these are one-liners and cover the majority of cases. The
third and most general way to use TQToolTip requires you to
reimplement a pure virtual function to decide whether to pop up a
tool tip. The <a href="tooltip-example.html">tooltip/tooltip.cpp</a> example demonstrates this
too. This mode can be used to implement tips for text that can
move as the user scrolls, for example.
<p> To use TQToolTip like this, you must subclass TQToolTip and
reimplement <a href="#maybeTip">maybeTip</a>(). TQToolTip calls maybeTip() when a tip
should pop up, and maybeTip() decides whether to show a tip.
<p> Tool tips can be globally disabled using
<a href="#setGloballyEnabled">TQToolTip::setGloballyEnabled</a>() or disabled in groups with
<a href="qtooltipgroup.html#setEnabled">TQToolTipGroup::setEnabled</a>().
<p> You can retrieve the text of a tooltip for a given position within
a widget using <a href="#textFor">textFor</a>().
<p> The global tooltip font and palette can be set with the static
<a href="#setFont">setFont</a>() and <a href="#setPalette">setPalette</a>() functions respectively.

<h3 class=fn><a name="TQToolTip"></a>TQToolTip::TQToolTip ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget, <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;group = 0 )
</h3>
Constructs a tool tip object. This is only necessary if you need
tool tips on regions that can move within the widget (most often
because the widget's contents can scroll).
<p> <em>widget</em> is the widget you want to add dynamic tool tips to and
<em>group</em> (optional) is the tool tip group they should belong to.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> TQToolTip is not a subclass of <a href="ntqobject.html">TQObject</a>, so the instance of
TQToolTip is not deleted when <em>widget</em> is deleted.
<p> <b>Warning:</b> If you delete the tool tip before you have deleted
<em>widget</em> then you need to make sure you call <a href="#remove">remove</a>() yourself from
<em>widget</em> in your reimplemented TQToolTip destructor.
<p> <pre>
MyToolTip::~MyToolTip()
{
<a href="#remove">remove</a>( widget );
}
</pre>
<p> <p>See also <a href="#maybeTip">maybeTip</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="add"></a>TQToolTip::add ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Adds a tool tip to <em>widget</em>. <em>text</em> is the text to be shown in
the tool tip.
<p> This is the most common entry point to the TQToolTip class; it is
suitable for adding tool tips to buttons, checkboxes, comboboxes
and so on.
<p>Examples: <a href="helpsystem-example.html#x2695">helpsystem/mainwindow.cpp</a>, <a href="qdir-example.html#x1848">qdir/qdir.cpp</a>, <a href="scribble-example.html#x945">scribble/scribble.cpp</a>, and <a href="tooltip-example.html#x450">tooltip/tooltip.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="add-2"></a>TQToolTip::add ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text, <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;group, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;longText )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Adds a tool tip to <em>widget</em> and to tool tip group <em>group</em>.
<p> <em>text</em> is the text shown in the tool tip and <em>longText</em> is the
text emitted from <em>group</em>.
<p> Normally, <em>longText</em> is shown in a <a href="ntqstatusbar.html">status
bar</a> or similar.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="add-3"></a>TQToolTip::add ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqrect.html">TQRect</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;rect, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Adds a tool tip to a fixed rectangle, <em>rect</em>, within <em>widget</em>.
<em>text</em> is the text shown in the tool tip.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="add-4"></a>TQToolTip::add ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqrect.html">TQRect</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;rect, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text, <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;group, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;groupText )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Adds a tool tip to an entire <em>widget</em> and to tool tip group <em>group</em>. The tooltip will disappear when the mouse leaves the <em>rect</em>.
<p> <em>text</em> is the text shown in the tool tip and <em>groupText</em> is the
text emitted from <em>group</em>.
<p> Normally, <em>groupText</em> is shown in a <a href="ntqstatusbar.html">status
bar</a> or similar.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="clear"></a>TQToolTip::clear ()<tt> [protected]</tt>
</h3>
Immediately removes all tool tips for this tooltip's parent
widget.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="enabled"></a>TQToolTip::enabled ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
<p> <b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p>
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqfont.html">TQFont</a> <a name="font"></a>TQToolTip::font ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the font common to all tool tips.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setFont">setFont</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a>&nbsp;* <a name="group"></a>TQToolTip::group () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the tool tip group this TQToolTip is a member of or 0 if it
isn't a member of any group.
<p> The tool tip group is the object responsible for maintaining
contact between tool tips and a <a href="ntqstatusbar.html">status
bar</a> or something else which can show the longer help text.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#parentWidget">parentWidget</a>() and <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="hide"></a>TQToolTip::hide ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Hides any tip that is currently being shown.
<p> Normally, there is no need to call this function; TQToolTip takes
care of showing and hiding the tips as the user moves the mouse.
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="isGloballyEnabled"></a>TQToolTip::isGloballyEnabled ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns whether tool tips are enabled globally.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setGloballyEnabled">setGloballyEnabled</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="maybeTip"></a>TQToolTip::maybeTip ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqpoint.html">TQPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;p )<tt> [pure virtual protected]</tt>
</h3>
<p> This pure virtual function is half of the most versatile interface
TQToolTip offers.
<p> 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 <em>p</em> in the widget that this TQToolTip object relates to. If so,
<a href="#maybeTip">maybeTip</a>() must call <a href="#tip">tip</a>() with the rectangle the tip applies to,
the tip's text and optionally the <a href="qtooltipgroup.html">TQToolTipGroup</a> details and the
geometry in screen coordinates.
<p> <em>p</em> is given in that widget's local coordinates. Most maybeTip()
implementations will be of the form:
<p> <pre>
if ( &lt;something&gt; ) {
<a href="#tip">tip</a>( &lt;something&gt;, &lt;something&gt; );
}
</pre>
<p> The first argument to tip() (a rectangle) must encompass <em>p</em>,
i.e. the tip must apply to the current mouse position; otherwise
TQToolTip's operation is undefined.
<p> 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.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#tip">tip</a>().
<p>Examples: <a href="helpsystem-example.html#x2684">helpsystem/tooltip.cpp</a> and <a href="tooltip-example.html#x451">tooltip/tooltip.cpp</a>.
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqpalette.html">TQPalette</a> <a name="palette"></a>TQToolTip::palette ()<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the palette common to all tool tips.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setPalette">setPalette</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;* <a name="parentWidget"></a>TQToolTip::parentWidget () const
</h3>
<p> Returns the widget this TQToolTip applies to.
<p> The tool tip is destroyed automatically when the parent widget is
destroyed.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#group">group</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="remove"></a>TQToolTip::remove ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Removes the tool tip from <em>widget</em>.
<p> If there is more than one tool tip on <em>widget</em>, only the one
covering the entire widget is removed.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="remove-2"></a>TQToolTip::remove ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqrect.html">TQRect</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;rect )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> Removes any tool tip for <em>rect</em> from <em>widget</em>.
<p> If there is more than one tool tip on <em>widget</em>, only the one
covering rectangle <em>rect</em> is removed.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setEnabled"></a>TQToolTip::setEnabled ( bool&nbsp;enable )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
<p> <b>This function is obsolete.</b> It is provided to keep old source working. We strongly advise against using it in new code.
<p>
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setFont"></a>TQToolTip::setFont ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqfont.html">TQFont</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;font )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the font for all tool tips to <em>font</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#font">font</a>().
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setGloballyEnabled"></a>TQToolTip::setGloballyEnabled ( bool&nbsp;enable )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
If <em>enable</em> is TRUE sets all tool tips to be enabled (shown when
needed); if <em>enable</em> is FALSE sets all tool tips to be disabled
(never shown).
<p> By default, tool tips are enabled. Note that this function affects
all tool tips in the entire application.
<p> <p>See also <a href="qtooltipgroup.html#enabled-prop">TQToolTipGroup::enabled</a>.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="setPalette"></a>TQToolTip::setPalette ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqpalette.html">TQPalette</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;palette )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Sets the palette for all tool tips to <em>palette</em>.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#palette">palette</a>().

</h3>
Sets the wakeup delay for all tooltips to <em>i</em>
milliseconds.
<h3 class=fn><a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a> <a name="textFor"></a>TQToolTip::textFor ( <a href="ntqwidget.html">TQWidget</a>&nbsp;*&nbsp;widget, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqpoint.html">TQPoint</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;pos = TQPoint ( ) )<tt> [static]</tt>
</h3>
Returns the tool tip text for <em>widget</em> at position <em>pos</em>, or
<a href="ntqstring.html#TQString-null">TQString::null</a> if there is no tool tip for the given widget and
position.

</h3>
Immediately pops up a tip saying <em>text</em> and removes the tip once
the cursor moves out of rectangle <em>rect</em> (which is given in the
coordinate system of the widget this TQToolTip relates to).
<p> The tip will not reappear if the cursor moves back; your
<a href="#maybeTip">maybeTip</a>() must reinstate it each time.
<h3 class=fn>void <a name="tip-2"></a>TQToolTip::tip ( const&nbsp;<a href="ntqrect.html">TQRect</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;rect, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;text, const&nbsp;<a href="ntqstring.html">TQString</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;groupText )<tt> [protected]</tt>

<em>text</em> and removes the tip once the cursor moves out of rectangle
<em>rect</em>. Both rectangles are given in the coordinate system of the
widget this TQToolTip relates to.
<p> The tip will not reappear if the cursor moves back; your
<a href="#maybeTip">maybeTip</a>() must reinstate it each time.
<p> If the tip does not fit inside <em>geometry</em>, the tip expands.
