QSplashScreen and QWebView

[fuzzylogic]

Dear All,

I have an application where the main window consists of various QWebView widgets. When the application starts, a QSplashScreen object is displayed to the user. How can I tell the QSplashScreen object to stay visible until all the html pages are properly loaded in their respective QWebView widgets?

Thanks in advance.

Does this not work void QSplashScreen::finish ( QWidget (http://www.qtcentre.org/qwidget.html) * mainWin )

Hi Santosh,

No, it does not work, since QSplashScreen::finish will make the splash screen disappear after the QWebView widgets have been created. This does not however guarantees that the html pages of the relative QWebView widgets have been loaded as well.

how are you using QSplashScreen?

Hi Santosh.

I am using QSplashScreen as follows:


#include <QtGui/QApplication>
#include "myapp.h"
#include <QSplashScreen>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QApplication app(argc, argv);
mainWindow w;

QSplashScreen *splash = new QSplashScreen(QPixmap(":/myapp/Resources/splash.png"));

splash->show();
Qt::Alignment topRight = Qt::AlignRight | Qt::AlignTop;
splash->showMessage(QObject::tr("Setting up the main window..."),topRight,Qt::white);


w.setCentralWidget(w.splitter);
w.show();
app.processEvents();

splash->finish(&w);
delete splash;

return app.exec();
}

you are deleting the "splash" ! delete it when you are done loading (somewhere in a slot), also either set a parent to "splash" or create it on stack.

I assume QWebView loading is initiated in mainWindow, then have a finishedLoading() signal in mainWindow, and connect it to delteLater() or close() of "splash"
