[Qt-interest] bring a progressdialog in front of a qfiledialog

[Yifei Li]

Thank you for the reply.

I provide more details here:
if( !file.isEmpty() )
{
    QProgressDialog progress(...);
    progress.setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
    progress.raise()
   
    // read some big file
    read_big_file(myBigFileObject, file);

    // process myBigFileObject
    progress.setValue(1)
    myBigFileObject.process_step_1();

    progress.setValue(2)
    myBigFileObject.process_step_2();

    ....
        
}

Yes I can help you with this... Will I ?  that is the question...

The moment your QProgressDialog goes out of scope.. it will close.

So what is going on in your "...." is very important.

It needs to be some sort of event loop so it will stay in that area
until what ever you are doing is done

Hi all,

I want to show a progressdialog immediately after I hit 'Open'. I tried
BOTH modal and modaless qfiledialg, but still can't bring the
progressdialog to the front. The progressdialog only flashed after the
qfiledialog is closed.

Here is what I did:

file = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(...);

if( !file.isEmpty() )
{
    QProgressDialog progress(...);
    progress.setWindowFlags(Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint);
    progress.raise()
    ....
}


Can anyone help me with this? Thanks

Yifei
