@oBOXPOH ,

Just about some dialog with text without any buttons. If it easier for you, yes, about progressbar.

Hi

• Just about some dialog with text without any buttons. If it easier for you, yes, about progressbar.

Its not so much about being easier.
Its a concrete class
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qprogressbar.html

Also
WaitingDialog *dlg = new WaitingDialog;
dlg->show();
Sleep(10000); <<< here u lag all of application. nothing can be drawn and u will first see dialog after 10 secs.

Sleep cannot be used to simulate a workload.

I know! I wrote Sleep() only for example. But even in this case dlg->show() doesn't show content of the dialog, shows only title and window.

Ok, but you description of your issue , sounds 100% when a poster loop/sleep the main thread and
other windows shows up as empty becuase there is no time to draw the child widgets.

dlg->show() doesn't show content of the dialog, shows only title and window.

Well do you call a loop or something else after you open the dialog ?

Clearly
WaitingDialog *dlg = new WaitingDialog;
dlg->show();

must work and i assume the widget IN the dialog is made with UI file so all should be ok ?

There is something you are not telling :)

@oBOXPOH ,

WaitingDialog *dlg = new WaitingDialog;
dlg->exec();

connect(dlg,SIGNAL(aborted()),dlg,SLOT(stopDialog()));
connect(yourWidget,SIGNAL(executionComplete()),dlg,SLOT(stopDialog()));

void WaitingDialog::stopDialog() {
this->close();
emit aborted();
}

It seems logical. I'll try. Thanks!

I'll say what everybody else is afraid to say. Because this is not the solution Gotham deserves but it's the one it needs right now:
just add QApplication::processEvents(); after dlg.show();

@VRonin
hehe first time i seen the evil QApplication::processEvents() served with a batman quote :))

It's working! Thanks a lot! Great!
