messages in a status bar.</p>
<p>Status tips can be set on a widget using the <a href="qwidget.html#statusTip-prop">QWidget.setStatusTip</a>() function.
They are shown in the status bar when the mouse cursor enters the
widget. For example:</p>
<table class="generic" width="100%">
<tr class="odd" valign="top">
<td>
<pre class="cpp">
MainWindow<span class="operator">.</span>MainWindow(<span class="type"><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>parent)
: <span class="type"><a href="qmainwindow.html">QMainWindow</a></span>(parent)
{
<span class="type"><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>myWidget <span class="operator">=</span> <span class="keyword">new</span> <span class="type"><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a></span>;
myWidget<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>setStatusTip(tr(<span class="string">"This is my widget."</span>));
setCentralWidget(myWidget);
...
}
</pre></td>
<td>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="Widget with status tip." src="images/qstatustipevent-widget.png" /></p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Status tips can also be set on actions using the <a href="qaction.html#statusTip-prop">QAction.setStatusTip</a>()
function:</p>
<table class="generic" width="100%">
<tr class="odd" valign="top">
<td>
<pre class="cpp">
MainWindow<span class="operator">.</span>MainWindow(<span class="type"><a href="qwidget.html">QWidget</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>parent)
: <span class="type"><a href="qmainwindow.html">QMainWindow</a></span>(parent)
{
<span class="type"><a href="qmenu.html">QMenu</a></span> <span class="operator">*</span>fileMenu <span class="operator">=</span> menuBar()<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>addMenu(tr(<span class="string">"File"</span>));

newAct<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>setStatusTip(tr(<span class="string">"Create a new file."</span>));
fileMenu<span class="operator">-</span><span class="operator">></span>addAction(newAct);
...
}
</pre></td>
<td>
<p class="centerAlign"><img alt="Action with status tip." src="images/qstatustipevent-action.png" /></p>
</td>

<p>Finally, status tips are supported for the item view classes
through the <a href="qt.html#ItemDataRole-enum">Qt.StatusTipRole</a> enum value.</p>
