Всплывающие подсказки в QT

We recommend hosting TIMEWEB

Stable hosting, on which the social network EVILEG is located. For projects on Django we recommend VDS hosting.

Эта штука реализуется через QCompleter и наследование от QTextEdit.

Фактически получается, что нужно написать весь необходимый функционал самостоятельно. В данном примере Completer формируется из ресурсного файла, который добавлен в приложение.

Более полный код этого примера есть в самом Qt Creator. Называется Custom Completer
