KDE-Forum.org

I am experimenting on an unofficial application that I added to
KDE, specifically to Konqueror source code.

This will perform download and upload over the Internet and SSL.

I would like to just place a simple progress bar that continually loops
while download or upload is being performed. No percentage, just indicator
to the user that the trasaction is taking place.

I plan to create a class derived from QThread w/c contains QProgressBar.
And plans to just show this just before download/upload starts and end it
just after the download/upload is finished.

I am confused as to how could I show this GUI/thread/ProgressBar?
Should I get "qApp" at "run" function and from threre set the widget as main
and could I do qApp->exec()? B

Hi anda_skoa:

That suggetion for https transfers api is okay had i known it beforehand.
What i am using is curlpp for all http transactions.

My question yesterday is actually this:

I just would like to show a progress bar gui
besides the integrated application i did in KDE-Konqueror.

KDE-Koqueror will show this progress bar while doing the https transfers.
I had a class that is based on a timer that updates the progress bar automatically.
The progress bar also is just a looping progress bar. Not dependent on anything,
as long as the transfers are taking place.

So, is it okay if I just throw in a new thread as the progress bar gui,
and be able to continue on the next statement of the code w/c will perform
the https transfer? Both running together, and from that main thead just
terminate the progress bar thread?

Thanks,
Sim
