    Default Informative dialog

    Hi,
    I would know if Qt provide an informative dialog. Something as wxWidget has.
    Is not properly a dialog with button, is only a little window, without border and without buttons that informs the user of what is happenind.
    For example...in my case I'm writing an audio editor and when user click a button the software encode part of the audio.
    So I would run such dialog that "inform" the user of what's happening.

    Something as:
    creating output buffer
    creating background sound
    etc..

    The text can change.
    The dialog doesn't block the application, only inform and tasks still work.
    I hope to be clear..
    wxWidget fraemwork has exactly such dialog and the dialog is semi-transparent.

    Best Regards,
    Franco

    QProgressDialog could be an option for you.

    But I don't need to show a progress dialog, I only need to show text, and can the dialog be without border and transparent?

    You can have your custom dialog / Widget with frameless hint, cant you ?
    Or may be if you dont want anything fancy, QToolTip::showText, with proper position, might also work for you
