Where did you put this code?

[vani.pv]

in my form constructor.

So assuming your slider is initially positioned at 0, you get:

myslider->setTooltip("0");

myslider->setTooltip("0");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Isn't that what you get? Doesn't the slider show "0" as its tooltip?

[vani.pv]

No.Nothing is visible .no t even a 0 value;

So this doesn't work?

#include <QtGui>
 
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QSlider slider;
  slider.setToolTip("tooltip");
  slider.show();
  return app.exec();
}

#include <QtGui>

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  QApplication app(argc, argv);
  QSlider slider;
  slider.setToolTip("tooltip");
  slider.show();
  return app.exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

No.Its not working.

in my application i have a slider control.

I'm not asking about your application. Please run the code I gave you and say whether moving the mouse pointer over the slider makes the tooltip appear or not.

hi vani,

myslider->setTooltip(QString::number(myslider->sliderposition()),10);

There is a mistake in passing the arguments. setToolTip has only one argument.

The correct code will be,

myslider->setTooltip(QString::number(myslider->sliderposition()));

myslider->setTooltip(QString::number(myslider->sliderposition()));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Also there is no need to pass 10 for number function.The default argument is 10

Hope it helps,
Bala

Add these lines of code it will work .....
connect(ui->horizontalSlider,SIGNAL(sliderMoved(int)),this,SL OT(sliderMoved(int)));

void MainWindow::sliderMoved(int position)
{
ui->horizontalSlider->setToolTip(QString::number(position));
}
