How to splash screen a gif video

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.

HI
Thats the internal aligment :)

I assume you mean to center window onthe screen / desktop

ManiRon

@mrjj its coming like this when i use code from the above mentioned link

mrjj

@ManiRon
you do that on label ?

anyway, you should set both alignments so movie is in center

ManiRon

@mrjj

This is my code

processLabel->setGeometry(
QStyle::alignedRect(
Qt::LeftToRight,
Qt::AlignCenter,
processLabel->size(),
qApp->desktop()->availableGeometry()

mrjj

@ManiRon
ok.
well u need to center the movie also or
set size of label to size of movie.

ManiRon

@mrjj

i have to do both sir .

mrjj

@ManiRon
well to be on safe size u can do that.
use resize to size label to width, height of movie
