Wait Condition Indication to User Using Loading/Wait Message

[vivek.panchal]

hi all,

i am new to qt .. i am making an application which gives indication to user while application loads form or doing some processing...
how can i do it ....

[ChrisW67]

QSplashScreen or QProgressBar are two of the more obvious answers.

[vivek.panchal]

yes i did that & also tried playing gif image using qmovie object ... but is it possible by any other way .... like widget painter or graphicsscene

Of course it is possible. You can run whichever code you want and call that a loading screen. ChrisW67 listed the Qt widgets commonly used for that purpose and that are immediately identified by the user as such. If you prefer to defy conventions and launch a minesweeper game with Beethoven's fifth symphony playing in the background, be my guest.

I'm thinking that the finale to the 1812 Overture would be a better choice if he's going to launch minesweeper. Synchronization would be an interesting problem.

There's always


QApplication::setOverrideCursor( QCursor( Qt::WaitCursor ) );
