[Qt-interest] Waiting for QProcess to finish without freezing GUI

[qzvjtml02 at sneakemail.com]

Hello.

	I am using QProcess to wrap a GUI around a console application.  
Unfortunately, the console application uses the internet, and logs in  
on startup. This means that the console application could take FOREVER  
to finish, depending on the internet connection. What I'd like to do  
is wrap QProcess calls in a modal QProgressDialog. I programmed this  
up, but when I call the QProcess stuff I use QProcess::waitForFinish()  
so that my application doesn't try to continue without the console  
application being started. What this means is that the QProgressDialog  
comes up fine, but then my GUI freezes because I called  
QProcess::waitForFinish(). I know there's a better way to do this...  
does anyone have any advice? Ideally I'd display a "logging in"  
QProgressDialog while the console application runs. If the user clicks  
the "cancel" button on the QProgressDialog, I kill the QProcess. Is  
this possible without the GUI freezing?

	Thank you for your help!
