launch in a gif via QMovie and QThread

[desch]

Hi,

I try to launch a throbber (just a gif) during intensive process.

1) I tried to launch it directly like

QMovie movie(":/throbber.gif");
movie.start();
label->setMovie(movie);
 
...
//intensive process

QMovie movie(":/throbber.gif");
movie.start();
label->setMovie(movie);

...
//intensive process

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

The gif doesn't move at all during process and start moving after the intensive process

2)Using a QThread

CThreadMovie::CThreadMovie(QMovie *	movie)
{
	_movie = movie;
}
 
void CThreadMovie::run()
{
	if (_movie != NULL)
		_movie->start();
 
	exec();
}

CThreadMovie::CThreadMovie(QMovie *	movie)
{
	_movie = movie;
}

void CThreadMovie::run()
{
	if (_movie != NULL)
		_movie->start();

	exec();
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I launch with this interface:

QMovie * movie = new QMovie(":/throbber");
	labelThrobber->setMovie(movie);
 
	// create Thread instance
	_threadMovie = new CThreadMovie(movie);
 
            _threadMovie->start();

QMovie * movie = new QMovie(":/throbber");
	labelThrobber->setMovie(movie);
	
	// create Thread instance
	_threadMovie = new CThreadMovie(movie);

            _threadMovie->start();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

It doesn't work

So the questions

What do I do wrong?
What should I do?

Thanks to all

David
