QProgressDialog stucks

[Mystical Groovy]

Hey everyone I want to use a progressdialog in busy mode to run a process

heres the code:

QProcess *installproc = new QProcess(this);
 
        QProgressDialog progress("Installing Package...", "Cancel", 0, 0, this);
        progress.setRange(0,0);
        progress.setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
        progress.exec();
 
        installproc->start(InstallPkgCom);
 
        if (installproc->waitForFinished())
        {
                    progress.close();
        }

QProcess *installproc = new QProcess(this);

        QProgressDialog progress("Installing Package...", "Cancel", 0, 0, this);
        progress.setRange(0,0);
        progress.setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
        progress.exec();

        installproc->start(InstallPkgCom);

        if (installproc->waitForFinished())
        {
                    progress.close();
        }

the problem is that the dialog isnt closing with the process is finished..
iv noticed that if i dont press cancel or do anythink on the dialog for about 10-15 secs, and then press cancel, the dialog closes and the process is finished

so basically the process is running just fine even after the dialog shown up, but the dialog refuses to close when the process is finished.

p.s sorry for my english :P

you have to process events now and then (see QCoreApplication::processEvents()) if there is no (other) event loop processing

thanks for your answer,

i cant get it to work, i run qApp->processEvents();/QCoreApplication->processEvents();

before and after i call the qprocess, and ive also tried to run the processevents function before and after the qprogressdialog but it wont work,

any example code? xD

don't use waitFor* methods where you don't have to because they are blocking - as their names say - they're just waiting and doing nothing (your whole application is just waiting) until something is done. Create progress dialog on a heap and connect QProcess::finished() with QProgressDialog::close() and don't use waitForFinished() so in between your applicantion can process events.

P.S. And I'm not sure but you can set WA_DeleteOnClose attribute to the QProgressDialog...

i dont want to create new slots and staff so ill use the standart system() function

code ive used but its no working:

QProgressDialog progress("Installing Package...", "Cancel", 0, 0, this);
        progress.setRange(0,0);
        progress.setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
        qApp->processEvents();
 
        while(progress.exec())
        {
        system ( InstallPkgCom ); //install package
        }
 
        progress.close();

QProgressDialog progress("Installing Package...", "Cancel", 0, 0, this);
        progress.setRange(0,0);
        progress.setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
        qApp->processEvents();

        while(progress.exec())
        {
        system ( InstallPkgCom ); //install package
        }

        progress.close();

during the execution of system() the calling thread "pauses" - you can't show a QProgressDialog nor interact with it during that time. So use QProcess instead.

well ive tried to do ti with byconnecting qrocess::finished to QProgressDialog::close()

but it says:

Object::connect: No such signal QProcess::finished()

Object::connect: No such signal QProcess::finished()

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

heres my code:

QProcess *installproc = new QProcess(this);
connect( installproc, SIGNAL(finished()),
                 this, SLOT(processFinished()) );
 
        installproc->start(InstallPkgCom);

QProcess *installproc = new QProcess(this);
connect( installproc, SIGNAL(finished()),
                 this, SLOT(processFinished()) );

        installproc->start(InstallPkgCom);

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

you can check in docs that it is: void finished ( int exitCode, QProcess::ExitStatus exitStatus )

thank you all for your help i did it!

progress->setLabelText("Removing Package...");
        progress->setRange(0,0);
        progress->setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
 
        QProcess *removeproc = new QProcess(this);
        removeproc->start(RemovePkgCom);
        connect( removeproc, SIGNAL(finished(int,QProcess::ExitStatus)),this,SLOT(removeProcessFinished()));
 
        progress->exec();

progress->setLabelText("Removing Package...");
        progress->setRange(0,0);
        progress->setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);

        QProcess *removeproc = new QProcess(this);
        removeproc->start(RemovePkgCom);
        connect( removeproc, SIGNAL(finished(int,QProcess::ExitStatus)),this,SLOT(removeProcessFinished()));

        progress->exec();
