QComboBox - Showing gif animation
-
Hi,
I am retrieving the values of a QComboBox from a custom DB, I would like to show a loading icon, gif or something similar that displays before the data get populated into the QComboBox.
So far I have not been able to achieve that, I could display text instead in the first element that says "Loading..." but it is not really what I would like.. Is it even possible to display a QMovie gif in a QComboBox?
If not, maybe I could retrieve the data from the DB before my application starts, that way I know that every widget is ready to show. Now I am starting the application, then making the request to the DB to populate widgets (I use this way because you need to log in to the software in order to request data from the DB)
You can see where I would like to put this loading icon at 0:38 in this video demo of my app:
