Did you noticed that this thread is 2 years old and the OP got the answer as well.

I know, but his solution is intricate, and lots of people google for "QProgressDialog busy indicator" and hit on this thread.
So I think it's useful, if there is another working solution, isn't it?

well, if you try your code

1. progress.show();
2. //do what u want...
3. progress.cancel();
   
   You will not see the animation in the progress dialog because the event loop would be blocked util your "//do what u want" is finished.

no, I use my code in a couple of programs and it works.
