[Qgis-user] Toggle Attribute

[L.W.]

I tried a little bit with "actions" but - I think you're right - there
is no onHover.

anyway, I found a much more comfortable solution for the moment.

I add the simple term "OR is_selected()" in the if clause for my symbol
to show the changed color (in my case I draw a line between two points)
and it worked like a charme.

But, this is without the option to e.g. display a messagebox or someting
like that with additional informations of the feature (I know about map
hints/tips (I do not know the right translation).

Yes you could made an action for that, but my goal was to show this on
hover, but click is oooookay.

For X-Mas my wish in relation to QGIS is a hover event ... on feature on
map and on symbols. ;-)

Thanks for helping to everyone.


PS: Do I have to implement a Plugin to have a dockable window for
showing infos non modal on per action selected features?
