Hello Koen!

Please let me describe my use case, below.  But before I do,
let me emphasize that this is just a learning experience for me,
so let me make clear that my use case is not important, and is
really just an exercise I picked pretty much at random.

Let's say that I have two WPushButtons, one on the left, and
one on the right.  The one on the left is labelled "Hello" and
the one on the right, "Goodbye".

I wish to animateHide both buttons, change the left text to
"Goodbye" and the right text to "Hello", and then animateShow
the two buttons.  Roughly speaking, I wish to swap the two
buttons with some animation eye candy.  (Again, this is all
just for fun.)

When I try the above, the animations don't appear -- the text
on the two buttons changes immediately.

I will note that in this experiment the two WPushButtons are
"inline" widgets.  That is (referring to my other thread on
animation) I have not called "button_->setInline (false);"

Another detail:  In one version of the experiment I did call
"button_->setHiddenKeepsGeometry (true);" on both buttons
so that the location of the one button wouldn't change when
the other button was being hidden.  This was an attempt to
avoid having the changing location of a button confuse its
animation.

Any pointers -- for this unimportant practice project -- would
be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.


K. Frank
