CoachMark

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

Example

CoachMark: Targeted coach mark with glide

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();
