pyqt-tooltip-widget
PyQt QWidget as a tooltip
Requirements
- PyQt5 >= 5.8
Setup
pip3 install git+https://github.com/yjg30737/pyqt-tooltip-widget.git --upgrade
Detailed Description
This is QWidget which is activated like tooltip. When mouse cursor enters to the widget, ToolTipWidget pops up at the bottom left of the widget. Leave from the widget tooltip will be disappeared.
I made it work by catching QEnterEvent and QLeaveEvent of widget.
ToolTipWidget inherits QWidget, so you can decorate it just like QWidget.
Usage
Just make instance of it like self.toolTip = ToolTipWidget(yourWidget). yourWidget argument is the widget which you want to set tooltip of. Instance should be class variable.
Method Overview
-
setStillOpenWhenCursorLeaveFromToolTipWidget(f: bool)- Tooltip will be kept showing when cursor is inside the tooltip. (this is disabled by default) isStillOpenWhenCursorLeaveFromToolTipWidget() -> bool
