QDialog not being drawn on startup
Message 1 in thread
I'm trying to add a "Starting up ..." dialog to my application because it takes
several seconds before it is primed up and is shown on the screen. I created a
dialog, did a show(), a raise(), and an activateWindow() and can get it to
appear and disappear that the proper time. Unfortunately, I cannot get it to
draw the actual contents of the dialog. It just shows up as an empty window
with a title.
If I use exec(), it will pop up and show the contents of the Dialog but it is
modal and prevents the rest of my app from starting up until I get rid of it.
Any thoughts?
