How to apply gif to Qpushbutton

[Beginner1]

Hi,
Is there any way of applying a gif animation to a pushbutton?
The setMovie Function only works with the labels. Is it possible to add a gif animation to pushbutton as an icon?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Out of curiosity, why do you need such a button for ?

@Beginner1

like this:

auto movie = new QMovie(this);
movie->setFileName(":/sample.gif");
connect(movie, &QMovie::frameChanged, [=]{
    pushButton->setIcon(movie->currentPixmap());
});
movie->start();

If the feature is used frequently, subclass the button to redefine it.

I have a complex animation of button that rotates and transforms into a tick so i wanted to apply that animation on the button when i click it I will learn to make these animations with QML later as i m a beginner currently so applied a gif :)

@Devopia53

Can i make that button clickable only once after i the movie starts ?

You can disable it after first click

You can use the QMovie::started signal and a lambda to call setEnabled(true) on your button.
