Hello -
We have built an application that has numerous screens - some are QDialogs and some are QMainWindows. The application also consists of a little over a dozen individual executables that are launched from a main executable.
Our primary platform right now is UNIX (Solaris) but we're also building on Windows.
We want to make use of QWhatsThis text for an online help solution. The problem - particuarly in Solaris - is that there isn't a "?" at the top of dialogs or main windows to invoke QWhatsThis Mode. We could add a widget that allows the user to invoke QWhatsThis mode but that means adding the widget to hundreds of individual interfaces.
Is there a solution that would allow us to globally add a function that gives the user the ability to invoke QWhatsThis MODE? (Shift+F1 for example)
We want the cursor to change so that when a user passes over a widget that has QWhatsThis text, it is obvious that help exists for that widget. Right now, the user can right-click on a widget and get QWhatsThis text if it exists. But the user has no way of knowing if text exists without trial and error. So, we're looking for the best solution for invoking QWhatsThis Mode.
Appreciate any feedback...
