I'm building a Qt Symbian Project and I want to show a notification for the user that should auto close after some seconds. I have seen that Nokia uses this a lot in their ui.
Right now I'm using the code below so that the user can close the QMessageBox but I would like it if it was possible to auto close the QMessageBox after 1 or 2 seconds. How can I do this using Qt?
QMessageBox msgBox;
msgBox.setText("Hello!");
msgBox.setIcon(QMessageBox::Information);
msgBox.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox::Ok);
msgBox.exec();
Thanks really much! My solution:
I created my own class (MessageBox) this is my code for showing it:
MessageBox msgBox;
msgBox.setText("Hello!");
msgBox.setIcon(QMessageBox::Information);
msgBox.setStandardButtons(QMessageBox::Ok);
msgBox.setAutoClose(true);
msgBox.setTimeout(3); //Closes after three seconds
msgBox.exec();
This is my class:
class MessageBox : public QMessageBox
int timeout;
bool autoClose;
int currentTime;
void MessageBox::showEvent ( QShowEvent * event ) {
currentTime = 0;
if (autoClose) {
this->startTimer(1000);
}
}
void MessageBox::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event)
{
currentTime++;
if (currentTime>=timeout) {
this->done(0);
}
}
