QMovie as the background of a QDialog?

[qlands]

Hi,

How can I have a QMovie as the background of a QDialog?

Many thanks,
Carlos.

Put a QLabel on a QDialog.

Hi,

Yes I can use a qlabel to show the movie. But I need to have some other widgets on top of the movie in a layout. If I have a QLabel and I set the QDialog to a Vertical Layout the movie will not be under the other widgets.

Did you try to put layout on QLabel?

[qlands]

No did not try that... but how can I put a layout on a QLabel? Would it be like enable QLabel to contain other widgets? I don't know how to do that.

Yes, QLabel may have child widgets and a layout to lay them out like any other widget. This is no different from adding children to a QDialog, a QGroupBox, etc.

Hi,

That sound promising. Can I do that with QT creator or just pragmatically?

Many thanks,
Carlos

Yes, you can.
Don't afraid to try anything by yourself.

I may sound very silly but I can't drag and drop a widget for example a QPushButton in a QLabel in the same way I drop a QPushButton in a QGroupBox. The groupbox contains the QPushButton however the QLabel does not! Do I need to change anything in the QLabel widget?

I am using QT Creator 2.3.1

Many thanks.

Take my words back: unfortunately you can't do this in Qt Designer(Qt Creator). You can only do this in the code.
