how to show and hide Qlabel continuously on mainwindow

[prasad1001]

Hello all,
I am new to Qt, please tell me how to show and hide the Qlabel message continuously on my mainwindow...

Here is my code..

MainWindow.cpp


MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
QMainWindow(parent),
ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
ui->setupUi(this);
label=ui->label;

display();
}

MainWindow::~MainWindow()
{
delete ui;
}

void MainWindow::display()
{
while(1)
{
label->show();
sleep(1000);
label->hide();
}
}

when i run the program mainwindow is not comming...and no errors are comming..
Please help me..
Thank you.

First of all loop in MainWindow::display is "never ending story". Thus MainWindow constructor is blocking application.
Second UI need working event loop but You are blocking her. Read about QTimer.

Method display should be defined as slot and looks like :
void MainWindow::display()
{
label->setVisible(!label->isVisible());// Set the status of the opposite
QTimer::singleShot(500,this,SLOT(display()));// call display() after 500 ms
}

"The program has unexpectedly finished."

Run your program in your debugger. When it crashes look at where it crashed in the back trace you will likely be given.
