Detailed Description

The QProgressDialog class provides feedback on the progress of a long running operation. A progress dialog is used to give the user feedback about how far the given operation has progressed. It can also provide the user with an option opportunity to abort the operation.

A common problem with progress dialogs is how to determine if the operation will take long enough to justify showing a status dialog. QProgressDialog offers a solution to this dilemma. As part of the class there is built in functionality to estimate the time the operation will take and only display the dialog if this estimate is greater than the value of the minimumDuration property.

Use setMinimum() and setMaximum() or the constructor to set the number of steps in the operation and call setValue() as the operation progresses. The number of steps can be chosen arbitrarily. It can be the number of files copied, the number of bytes received, the number of iterations through the main loop of your algorithm, or some other suitable unit. Progress starts at the value set by setMinimum() and the progress dialog shows the operation has finished when you call setValue() with the value set by setMaximum() as its argument.

The progress dialog automatically resets and hides itself at the end of the running operation. Use setAutoReset() and setAutoClose() to change this behavior. If you call setMaximum() or setRange() with a value equal to your current value() the dialog will not close.

Example

There are two ways of using QProgressDialog, modal and modeless. A modal QProgressDialog is often simpler to use. In your processing loop call setValue() at some interval and check for cancellation with wasCanceled().

QProgressDialog progress("Copying files...", "Abort Copy", 0, numFiles, this);
progress.setWindowModality(Qt::WindowModal);
for (int cnt = 0; cnt < numFiles; ++cnt) {
progress.setValue(cnt);
if (progress.wasCanceled()) {
break;
}
// copy one file
}
progress.setValue(numFiles);

A modeless progress dialog is suitable for operations which occur in the background while the user is able to interact with the application. These operations are typically based on a QObject::timerEvent(), QSocketNotifier, or QUrlOperator, or performed in a separate thread.

A QProgressBar in the status bar of your main window is often an alternative to a modeless progress dialog.

You need to have an event loop running, connect the canceled() signal from the progress dialog to a slot in your program which stops the operation. Make sure to call setValue() at regular intervals.

MyOperation::MyOperation(QObject *parent)
: QObject(parent), steps(0)
{
pd = new QProgressDialog("Operation in progress.", "Cancel", 0, 100);
connect(pd, &QProgressDialog::canceled, this, &MyOperation::cancel);
t = new QTimer(this);
connect(t, &QTimer::timeout, this, &MyOperation::process);
t->start(0);
}
void MyOperation::process()
{
pd->setValue(steps);
// process one percent of the operation
++steps;
if (steps > pd->maximum()) {
t->stop();
}
}
void MyOperation::cancel()
{
t->stop();
}

In either mode the progress dialog may be customized by replacing the child widgets with custom widgets by using setLabel(), setBar(), and setCancelButton(). The methods setLabelText() and setCancelButtonText() set the text displayed in the progress dialog.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

QProgressDialog::QProgressDialog ( QWidget parent = nullptr,
Qt::WindowFlags  flags = Qt::EmptyFlag 
)
explicit

Constructs a progress dialog. The values for parent and flags are passed to the QDialog constructor. The default settings are shown below.

  • Dialog label text is empty
  • Cancel button text is (translated) "Cancel"
  • Minimum is 0
  • Maximum is 100
See also
setLabelText(), setCancelButtonText(), setCancelButton(), setMinimum(), setMaximum()
QProgressDialog::QProgressDialog ( const QString labelText,
const QString cancelButtonText,
int  minimum,
int  maximum,
QWidget parent = nullptr,
Qt::WindowFlags  flags = Qt::EmptyFlag 
)

Constructs a progress dialog. The values for parent and flags are passed to the QDialog constructor.

The labelText is the text used to remind the user what is progressing. The cancelButtonText is the text to display on the cancel button. If an empty string is passed then no cancel button is shown.

The minimum and maximum is the number of steps in the operation for which this progress dialog shows progress. For example, if the operation is to examine 50 files, this value minimum value would be 0, and the maximum would be

  1. Before examining the first file, call setValue(0). As each file is processed call setValue(1), setValue(2), etc., finally calling setValue(50) after examining the last file.

QProgressDialog::minimumDuration

This property holds the time that must pass before the dialog appears. If the expected duration of the task is less than the minimumDuration, the dialog will not appear at all.

If set to 0 the dialog is always shown as soon as any progress is set. The default is 4000 milliseconds.
