**wagmare** · 9th March 2010, 10:18

hi friends,
i try to use circle progressBar just like in windows ... so please suggest me a clear way ...
in Qt is there any way to use circle progressbar ..? or i have to customize it manually using QPainter ...
in paintEvent() what will be an easy way to do it...
please suggest me a clear idea ... just a outline hint is enough ...

thanks in advance ...

You could also go for a simple way... Use a busy cursor animated gif and show that

It would be nice if you could give us some feedback on your implementation...

Thanks in advance.

make the screen black and in middle rotate the progressBar circle until the operatio completes ... it will be good task ...?

You can show a widget fullscreen with semi transparency. In the middle of the widget you can have a QLabel running the gif as a movie, or you will need to do you custom painting.
Whether to add painting in the full screen widget or create a custom widget and then add it to the full screen widget is your choice.
