[Qt-interest] Overlaying an image (png or jpg with text) over the screen.

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

I don't take responsibility to say it is the best way.
But you may show modal or modeless dialog (whatever is more suitable for you).
Put controls you need there.
If such dialog has no widgets which accept focus you should not have focus changed.
You can play with focus policy, if you want a control there which take a focus by default.
Use  QTimer to control the time shown. When timer expire destroy the dialog.

Regards,
   Alex

I have to display an image and text on the screen. The image just has
to pop up and show the user some information and after a couple of
seconds it should disappear again. That means that when the image pops
up it should not distract the user and steal the focus or something
like this. The image should just be an overlay over the a part of the
screen.

What is the best way to do something like that?

Thanks for your help

Damian
