Tooltips on QActions

[drhex]

Hi,

In the short QT-4.1.0 example below, I'm putting a QAction inside a QMenuBar.
It gets shown all right, but if I pause the mouse pointer above the QAction, its
Tooltip is not shown. I have no problems with tooltips on classes that inherit from
QWidget, but what is needed for a QAction's tooltip to be displayed?

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMenuBar>
#include <QAction>
 
int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    QApplication app( argc, argv );
    QMenuBar *bar = new QMenuBar();
    QAction *action = bar->addAction("my action");
    action->setToolTip("my tooltip");
 
    bar->show();
 
    return app.exec();
}

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMenuBar>
#include <QAction>

int main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    QApplication app( argc, argv );
    QMenuBar *bar = new QMenuBar();
    QAction *action = bar->addAction("my action");
    action->setToolTip("my tooltip");

    bar->show();

    return app.exec();
}
