@ManiRon
Hi
Please show the complete main.cpp code

[ManiRon]

@JohanSolo my doubt is i want to display the loading gif first then after a small amount of time the mainwindow. I have added the code which i have used kindly can u see that and point out if there is any mistake sir.
Thanks.

@mrjj

This is the main.cpp full code sir

QApplication a(argc, argv);
MainWindow w;

QMovie *movie = new QMovie("C:/Users/data/Documents/untitled14/200w.gif");
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(&w);
processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

QTimer::singleShot(5000,movie,SLOT(stop()));
QTimer::singleShot(2500,&w,SLOT(show()));

[mrjj]

@ManiRon

QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(&w); << u set main win as parent so its shown inside.
if its to be like window BEFORE mainwin comes, use null as parent.

[ManiRon]

@mrjj Now i should give as QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL); ?

[ManiRon]

@mrjj i should display the gif file then the mainwindow, is that possible sir?

[mrjj]

@ManiRon

• QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL); ?
  Yes. will make it window.'

Yes, it should be.
Just dont call w.show() before u want to.

[ManiRon]

@mrjj

QTimer::singleShot(5000,movie,SLOT(stop()));
QTimer::singleShot(2500,&w,SLOT(show()));

this is what i use but this gif is not displaying now . Now it directly comes to the mainwindow but after the timeout which i have given in that QTimer

[ManiRon]

@mrjj
Now This is my code in Main.cpp
QMovie *movie = new QMovie("C:/Users/data/Documents/untitled14/200w.gif");
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL);
processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();

QTimer::singleShot(2500,movie,SLOT(stop()));
QTimer::singleShot(2500,&w,SLOT(show()));

[mrjj]

@ManiRon
maybe u need processLabel->show();

[ManiRon]

@mrjj

Now its showing sir,
But is there anyway to make show it in a different way

[ManiRon]

@mrjj those maximize and minimize and that close options should not be displayed. only the gif video and the background should be like a hide out one . Donno how to explain it

[ManiRon]

@mrjj while installing an application an pop up will come in which it blurs the background portion and only that pop up will be displayed to select yes or no . In that manner i want the loading gif video should be displayed . Is there any way possible ?

[ManiRon]

@mrjj is there any way sir?

@mrjj itsworking sir,

Now i want to align the gif video to play at the centre of the screen.

QLayout *data = new QLayout;
data->alignment(Qt::AlignCenter);
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL);
processLabel->setLayout(data);

but it showed error . Note : these i am using it in main.cpp

[ManiRon]

@mrjj I found it sir,

i used
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL);
processLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);

Now my doubt is , Its not aligning at all.

@ManiRon
HI
Thats the internal aligment :)

I assume you mean to center window onthe screen / desktop
