Hi there,

I've a problem:
I tried to write a program using Qt. One of my dialogs (its a class derived from public KDialogBase) includes a number of QCheckBoxes. Each QCheckBox gets a QToolTip with the command QToolTip::add (). You can choose, wether all should be displayed, or not. (The QCheckBoxes are organized in seven packages you can choose for display.)

So far, so good. Everything works fine.

But it works only as long as I don't create 272 QCheckBoxes. Then, the program crashes.


-------------------------------
The crash-handler of KDE shows the following message:

-------------------------------
("KartenWahlDialog::DistributeCheckBoxes()" is my function.)


When I changed the functionality of my program, no longer using QToolTips but connect-commands instead, the program does exactly the same: Crashing, if I want to show all 272 possible QCheckBoxes, otherwise (~40 QCheckBoxes less) it works fine.

So I ask myself wether the number of "connect"-commands I can use is limited and when it is so, I can expand the limit.

By the way: If I disable the "QToolTip::add ()"-command, the 272 QCheckBoxes are shown without any problems.

For I need displaying the Tooltips if it's posiible, I ask YOU: Can anybody help me?

Can you include your code?

Here is my code:

QCheckBox * KartenWahlDialog::DistributeCheckBoxes (const USHORT group,
const QString cardLabelText,
const QString cardTooltip,
const QString checkBoxName,
QButtonGroup * stadt,
QButtonGroup * gebiet, QButtonGroup * magie,
QButtonGroup * landschaft, QButtonGroup * strasse,
QButtonGroup * einheit, QButtonGroup * aktion,
QButtonGroup * ereignis)
{
QCheckBox * cardBox;
switch (group)
{
case GGRFLOTTE:
case GSTADTAUSBAU:
//cardBox = new QCheckBox (cardLabelText, stadt, checkBoxName);
return new QCheckBox (cardLabelText, stadt, checkBoxName);
break;
(... some more case...)
}


//Tooltip hinzufügen
QToolTip::add (cardBox, cardTooltip);
};

The function is called in a for-loop one time for each button which is to display.

Can it be just a problem with my memory?
