Questions tagged [qsplashscreen]

The QSplashScreen widget provides a splash screen (loading screen) that can be shown during application startup.

The QSplashScreen widget provides a splash screen that can be shown during application startup. A splash screen is a widget that is usually displayed when an application is being started.

Splash screens are often used for applications that have long start up times (e.g. database or networking applications that take time to establish connections) to provide the user with feedback that the application is loading.

The most common usage is to show a splash screen before the main widget is displayed on the screen. It is sometimes useful to update the splash screen with messages, for example, announcing connections established or modules loaded as the application starts up etc. The user can hide the splash screen by clicking on it with the mouse.

You should use this tag if your question is related to the use of QSplashScreen widget or its API.
