Time delay in loading progress bar (GIF Format)

[JonB]

@sankarapandiyan
I was going to say same as @jsulm. But in any case, is it safe to use processEvents() inside a slot? Won't that potentially mess things up?

I don't know what your code is doing or what " Because i am using GIF Format only" signifies. If you really don't want to do thread, if you do not want to wait till the code is finished inside the pushbutton slot (I don't know if you do), you might be able to use a QTimer() to avoid thread....?

[jsulm]

@sankarapandiyan There is an easy way to move some work into another thread: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtconcurrentrun.html

@jsulm
I don't want to sully this discussion, but could you just give a quick "yes" or "no" to my

But in any case, is it safe to use processEvents() inside a slot? Won't that potentially mess things up?

e.g. can't user press button a second time while in slot for first time and cause havoc?

I guess he/she can :-)
But same applies to using thread: you have to make sure you don't trigger the same action when it is already being executed. Not hard to implement (disconnect the slot or use a guard variable).

@jsulm @JonB I have used process event( ), And i get a output what i want .. But at last both the progress bar gif windows and task windows are closed automatically .Here i want to hide a progress bar gif window at last , but here both windows are closed . So how to fix this problem .

this is my code

void MainWindow::on_pushButton_4_clicked()
{
    QMovie*movie=new QMovie(":/somegif.gif");
    qDebug() << "test1";
        if(!movie->isValid()){
            //something went Wrong
            return;
        }
        //play GIF
        auto label=new QLabel();
        label->resize(400,180);
        label->setMovie(movie);
        label->show();
        movie->start();

        QTimer*timer=new QTimer(this);
        connect(timer,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,SLOT(PrintDebugInTimer()));
        timer->start(1000);
        //start time to close it after 10 sec
        QTimer::singleShot(10000,[label,&timer]{
           // label->close();
            label->deleteLater();
            timer->stop();
        });

@sankarapandiyan said in Time delay in loading progress bar (GIF Format):

So how to fix this problem

Sorry I don't understand you. What exactly do you want to close and when?

[sankarapandiyan]

@jsulm actually the push button (in the First window )pressed the progress bar runs first , After loading the progress bar window ( second window ). while closing second window simultaneously the first and second windows closed together , But what i want is i need to stay the ( First window ) on rest . i dont want to close ...

@sankarapandiyan Sorry, without code I have no idea...

this is my output
i have checked

with q debug

This is my code and this is my out put

[jsulm]

@sankarapandiyan Well, your app is actually crashing. The code is pretty messy to be honest.

QTimer*timer=new QTimer(this);
connect(timer,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,SLOT(PrintDebugInTimer()));
timer->start(1000);
//start time to close it after 10 sec
QTimer::singleShot(10000,[label,&timer]{
// label->close();
    label->deleteLater();
    timer->stop(); // It crashes here. Means timer is already destroyed - do you delete it or its parent somewhere?
});
