widget load event?

[scarleton]

Right after the QMainWindow is displayed I need to display an initial configuration dialog. Normally in the Microsoft C/C++/C# world, I start a timer at then end of the Load event and pop up the dialog in the timer handler. How does one do that in Qt?

If you consider the end of the constructor as the "load event", then you can start a timer there.

*Just in case* you weren't aware, this part of your question is concerned with the Signals and Slots paradigm of Qt. Specifically, you would connect QTimer's timeout() signal to a custom "slot" (function) handling the event.
