Waiting for a download event

[merajc]

Thank you for your help

The reason I can't put the rest of the code in the slot is that they're two different classes, and need to be separated.

Is there any way I can make the app wait by making a MessageBox pop-up and only leave after the download is finished? Or any other method that allows me to make the app wait for the download to be finished?

You have your mind set on a synchronous connection.
While, as stated already, the get() function is asynchronous.

You want to use the finished() signal.
And you need to change the program logic to deal with this. This should not be too hard.
Basically, create a signal in your xmlReader class that fires when the networkaccessmanager finished() signal is fired. Before that, the xmlReader class can do the necessary parsing.
Then connect a slot from your WallPaperselection class to the xmlReader finished signal.
Then use some getter functions to get the needed data.

Thank you for your reply

I actually tried implementing a signal and slot yesterday to do this, but it didn't work.

Went over my Qt book and now it works great. Thanks you once again!
