I want to set GIF image as an background image for the QListWidget , is it possible to do so.

You can use setStyleSheet

ui->listWidget->setStyleSheet("background-image: url(Path/to/gif.gif)");

or

 ui->listWidget->setStyleSheet(QString("QListWidget { background-image: url(Path/to/gif.gif) }"));

Hi Ratzz,

Thanks for replying, actually i have already tried the method which you have said.
In general we will use the QMovie to load a gif images and to see the actions that were present in the gif image but on using the setStylesheet i was unable to see the actions or animation moving that was present in the gif image i need to see the animation too when i apply the image as a background for QListWidget.

Thanks in advance,

Hello
You can create a QLabel in .ui file over the QListWidget region and then you can use setMovie

    #include <QMovie>
    QMovie *movie = new QMovie("path/to/gif.gif");    
    ui->label->setMovie(movie);
    movie->start();

@Ratzz

   myMovie = new QMovie(":/images/icon_gif.gif");
    movieLabel = new QLabel(this);
    movieLabel->setMovie(myMovie);
    myMovie->start();

    listWidget = new QListWidget(this);
    listWidget->setViewMode(QListView::IconMode);
    listWidget->resize(800,600);

    QListWidgetItem *sample = new QListWidgetItem();
    sample->setIcon(QIcon(":/images/shutdown.png"));
    sample->setText("Sample");
    sample->setTextAlignment(Qt::AlignHCenter);

    listWidget->addItem(sample);
    listWidget->setItemWidget(sample,movieLabel);

I have tried in this manner Ratzz,please correct if there are any mistakes

Thanks in advance,

I have added these few lines to resemble GIF image as background for QListWidget

QPixmap pix = QPixmap::grabWidget(ui->label,20,30,741,481);
    pix.fill(Qt::transparent);
       QPalette p;
    p.setBrush(QPalette::Base,pix);
    p.base();
