How to splash screen a gif video

[ManiRon]

@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

@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

[ManiRon]

@mrjj not getting your point

[ManiRon]

@mrjj

QMovie *movie = new QMovie("C:/Users/data/Documents/untitled14/200w.gif");
QLabel *processLabel = new QLabel(NULL);
processLabel->setMovie(movie);
movie->start();
processLabel->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint);
processLabel->setGeometry(
QStyle::alignedRect(
Qt::RightToLeft,
Qt::AlignCenter,
processLabel->size(),
qApp->desktop()->availableGeometry()
));
processLabel->show();

This Is my current code

[mrjj]

@ManiRon
you can use
processLabel->resize( some width, some height )
and i told u how to center movie in label already

[ManiRon]

@mrjj

Is this the one to center the movie

processLabel->setAlignment(Qt::AlignCenter);

for example,
I added this in my code,

processLabel->resize(100,100);
error: invalid use of void expression
)
^

It showed this error

[mrjj]

@ManiRon
yes.
its AlignCenter = AlignVCenter | AlignHCenter

[ManiRon]

@mrjj after giving this also the gif is not aligining

[mrjj]

@ManiRon
ok. not sure what goes wrong then.

[ManiRon]

@mrjj oh

[mrjj]

@ManiRon
but if u just resize label, is movie not in the center then ?

[ManiRon]
