23 * \brief Class to provide text hints for a View.
24 *
25 * The class TextHintProvider is used in combination with TextHintInterface.
26 * TextHintProvider allows to provide text hint information for text under
27 * the mouse cursor.
28 *
29 * To use this class, derive your provider from TextHintProvider and register
30 * it with TextHintInterface::registerTextHintProvider(). When not needed
31 * anymore, make sure to remove your provider by calling
32 * TextHintInterface::unregisterTextHintProvider(), otherwise the View will
33 * contain a dangling pointer to your potentially deleted provider.
34 *
35 * Detailed information about how to use the TextHintInterface can be found
36 * in the documentation about the TextHintInterface.
37 *
38 * \see TextHintInterface
39 * \p since 5.0
