Hey,
I would do this with a small snippet of JavaScript code; e.g. a single
function that you can call with a line edit and a text.
fillAnimate(edit, text) { ... }
This code itself could use JavaScipt setTimeout() to perform the animation.
You can put this file in a JS file which you load using
WApplication::require(), and then you can use it for a particular line edit:
WLineEdit *ed = ... ;
WString text = ... ;
ed->doJavaScript("fillAnimate(" + ed->jsRef() + ", " +
text.jsStringLiteral() + ");");
Regards,
koen
