Qt Yellow alert message
 

Dow anyone know how to do this "yellow alert message" without any buttons that appears in the middle of the screen (the one that is displayed, after installing an application)? I've tried to use QMessageBox but I only get a dialog at the bottom of the screen with an OK button.

Thanks

Last November I was told (at the Nokia-Qt conference) it was still not supported in Qt 4.5. Did you try with 4.6?

Ah, OK. I'm using MADDE which uses Qt 4.5. So I'll just have to wait for the 4.6 to come out then. Thanks. :)

not sure if it will work, but would be intrstd to know :)

why not use the dbus services for this.

here you can find the dbus service you can use in maemo for notifications ==> HERE

here you can find the QT Dbus interfaces ==> HERE

this is exactly the kind of documentation missing for QT.
there is nothing that helps us develop for *maemo* using QT except for official QT documentaton and the wiki pages here.
we mostly have just general info about QT hildon integration all over the wiki , nothing really concrete for newcomers to start using.

QMaemo5InformationBox should handle that. It's included in the Maemo Qt tech preview 2.

I dont know about QT but in gtk its:

hildon.hildon_banner_show_information(
self.window,
"",
"There are no entries to display !")

I'm not sure what the first string does. Iconname?

See http://wiki.maemo.org/Maemo_Qt_Extra..._documentation

While I have not tried these libs personally, I don't see anything 4.6 specific about them, so I would not be surprised if they worked with 4.5, too.

Yep. Has no effect in Fremantle.

If I use these Maemo Qt Extra Libraries, does it mean that they would work only in Maemo?

Re: Qt Yellow alert message
 

@Sasler: Yes. If your application is also supposed to run on desktop machines, the simplest is to just #ifdef it. If would have been way cooler if we could achieve this by QMessageBox::information() or sorts, but for now, you need the extra libs.
