How do I load QMovie within QtDesigner?

I need to be load QMovie in QtDesigner. I noticed that a lot of classes are not accessible from QtDesigner. I usually design in QtDesigner and I just load the ui file directly in my code. This way I never had to worry about implementing the GUI itself in code. Is there a way I can do this without having to edit my code ?

So in summation I want to add QMovie to a horizontal layout in my main window.

Solution

  • QMovie is not a widget, so it makes no sense to add it to as layout.

    You probably want a QLabel, which has a setMovie method for dispalying animated images. But note that a QMovie cannot play videos - if you want that functionality, you will have to use a Phonon.VideoWidget, rather than a QLabel.
