CoachMark
A standalone teaching tip in its own window that points a tail at a target and glides between them.
Example

Usage
Targeted coach mark with glide
CoachMark overlays its owning window, points a tail at a target, and glides to a new target when retargeted while open.
#include <FluentQt/DialogsFlyouts.h>
using namespace fluent::dialogs_flyouts;
auto* coach = new CoachMark(window());
connect(this, &QObject::destroyed, coach, &QObject::deleteLater);
coach->setCardSize(QSize(320, 150));
coach->setPlacement(CoachMark::Bottom);
coach->setTarget(targetButton); // glides if already open
closeButton->setAccessibleName("Close");
connect(closeButton, &Button::clicked, coach, &CoachMark::close);
coach->open();import fluentqt

AnchorLayout::Anchors* anchors()Returns mutable anchors for the QWidget host.
void setState(const QString& name)Applies a named state, or clears state when name is empty.
void addState(const QMLState& state)Registers or replaces a named state definition.
void evaluateStates()Reevaluates conditions; the first registered true condition wins.
QMLPlusRuntime* runtime()Returns the lazy host-owned state observation object.
void setAnchors(const AnchorLayout::Anchors& anchors)Replaces all host anchors and invalidates the parent layout.
void resetAnchors()Clears all host anchors and invalidates the parent layout.
void bind(const char* targetProp, QObject* source, const char* sourceProp, PropertyBinder::Direction dir = PropertyBinder::OneWay)Binds a source property to a property on the QWidget host.
BindingHandle bindManaged(const char* targetProp, QObject* source, const char* sourceProp, PropertyBinder::Direction direction = PropertyBinder::OneWay, BindingOptions options = {})Installs a managed direct binding on this QWidget host.
BindingHandle bindComputed(const char* targetProp, const QVector<BindingDependency>& dependencies, std::function<QVariant()> evaluate, BindingOptions options = {})Installs an explicit-dependency C++ expression on this QWidget host.
void addTransition(const StateTransition& transition)Registers a state transition in precedence order.
void setBehavior(const char* propertyName, const PropertyAnimation& animation)Sets the default animation for this host's managed property writes.
void clearBehavior(const char* propertyName)Removes the default animation for future managed writes.
bool writeProperty(const char* propertyName, const QVariant& value)Writes a host property through Behavior without removing its binding.
