QLabel with specific options

TomNow99

Hello,

I would like to have QLabel with gif. This label should be on the middle of the screen, can't move, can't resize, no have icon in the taskbar, no have X ( exit ) button and be on the top of this application.

I have code:

    movie = new QMovie(R"(pathToGif)");
    label = new QLabel();
    label->setWindowFlags(Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::WindowStaysOnTopHint | Qt::Tool);
    label->setMovie(movie);
    movie->start();
    label->show();

And this code is almost perfect.
This label is on the middle of screen ( it's not perfect middle but it's ok )
I can't close this QLabel
I can't move it
I can't resize
There is no icon on the task bar

But this QLabel is on top of all applications ( for example when I open firefox - this QLabel is on top this firefox too ). I would like that this application would be only on top of my qt application.

When I add a parent to QLabel I lose positioning ( center of the screen ).

Hi,

You can use QDesktopWidget to get the screen center.

@SGaist
Thank you for answer, but screen center isn't problem ( my solution is good althought it isn't in the perfect center ).
My main application Window has set maximum size to 300x300, so when I set parent to QLabel and I move main application Window I move QLabel too. I don't want it.

My solution is good but it works on other ( not qt ) application too.

label = new QLabel(parentWidget, Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::Tool);

or

label = new QLabel();
label->setParent(parentWidget, Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::Tool);

Also can use Qt::SplashScreen to replace Qt::FramelessWindowHint | Qt::Tool.
