    Default Qt mimic jQuery shake effect

    Here is how a jQuery shake effect looks like: jQuery site (just scroll down and click the box as it asks in the demo). I want to do a similar thing with a QWidget in my Qt app.

    How do I do this? I am sorry that I am unable to post any code to show what I have tried till now, but I couldn't try anything at all, there doesn't seem to be any convenient animation API which will allow me to do such a thing. Of course I can make do with a timer, but that will be very clumsy.

    You are probably looking at the "wrong" (not ideal) UI technology. QtQuick is the one that makes animations very easy, almost trivial.

    The project is not using QtQuick, so cannot resort to that. Any other way of doing it?

    You can try using a QPropertyAnimation on the widget's geometry property.

    Yeah, found the API. Will try it and post further if I am stuck.
