A Qt package that lets you use web URLs as tooltips in Qt widgets.
PySide or PyQt4 with QtWebKit included.
::
pip install qwebtip
Import qwebtip's main model, qweburltip and set it to override one of
your widget's tooltips with some URL.
The next time you build your application and hover over that widget, a URL box is displayed with that URL, instead.
.. code:: python
from qwebtip import qweburltip
url = 'http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qwebframe.html' qweburltip.override_tool_tip(QtWidgets.QLabel('Some label'), url)
Setting a custom tooltip size
.. code:: python
from qwebtip import qweburltip
url = 'http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qwebframe.html' qweburltip.override_tool_tip( QtWidgets.QLabel('Some label'), url, width=100, height=400, )
Opening the URL at a specific header section
.. code:: python
url = 'http://pyqt.sourceforge.net/Docs/PyQt4/qwebframe.html' qweburltip.override_tool_tip( self.line_edit, element_selector.UnknownHeaderSelector( url, 'Method Documentation', ), )
Loaded webpages are cached so that successive loads can be kept fast. To disable caching, set this environment variable.
.. code:: bash
export QWEBTIP_DISABLE_CACHING=1
This is useful for debugging but is not recommended.
