Issues with Qt::StatusTipRole

[laugusti]

Hi all,

I am trying to display message in the status bar but I encounter some problems.

I do have a main window containing several widgets.
In a specific widget which includes a treeView, I would like to display status messages when the user roll on cells and headers.

To do so, I use Qt::StatusTipRole in both QAbstractItemModel::data() and QAbstractItemModel::headerData() methods.

For the cells, I am able to display the status message correctly but it won't be clear when I roll on an empty cell.
For the headers, it doesn't work as the headerData() method is never called for the Qt::StatusTipRole.
Last problem, the status message is not clear when I go outside this specific widget.

Somebody already knows this problem so I can get some hints?
Should I use the slots QStatusBar::clearMessage() from QStatusBar?

I was looking for the same thing, found the answer here:

treeview.viewport()->setMouseTracking(true);

Unfortunately I already activated the mouse tracking on the viewport but it didn't help.

Thanks for your input.
