QLabel::setText() how to

[freak]

Hello,

I'm trying to run certain steps in my app and for every step I try to update a "status" QLabel with setText(). This keeps the text of the first step and changes until the last step. The text of all steps in between are never shown. here is a code snippet.

QLabel *lStatus = new QLabel(tr("Starting procedure...."));
 
	//create Database
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("Creating database");
	createDatabase();
 
	//apply settings
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("Applying settings...");
	appSettings();
 
	//update logfile
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("update log file...");
	updateLog();
 
	//Config Finished
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("Configuration Finished");

QLabel *lStatus = new QLabel(tr("Starting procedure...."));

	//create Database
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("Creating database");
	createDatabase();

	//apply settings
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("Applying settings...");
	appSettings();

	//update logfile
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("update log file...");
	updateLog();

	//Config Finished
	lStatus->clear();
	lStatus->setText("Configuration Finished");

Thanks in advanced.

You will have to let the application process it's events every once in a while to get the label updated. The most simple way to get it working is to add the line below in between each stage:

QApplication::processEvents();

QApplication::processEvents();
