Create a pointer to the dialog in the class in your header file.

Code:

QProgressDialog *myProgressDialog;

In your constructor, assign a value to it, but don't show it yet.

Code:

myProgressDialog = new QProgressDialog(this);

When you start the QProcess, show the dialog.

Code:

myProgressDialog->show();

When the finished() slot of the QProcess is fired, hide the dialog.

Code:

myProgressDialog->hide();

You may also want to set this to provide a little better look and feel:

Code:

myProgressDialog->setAttribute(Qt::WA_Maemo5ShowProgressIndicator, true);

This will cause the dialog's title to show the small progress indicator circling stuff.
This requires QT += maemo5 in your .pro file and #include <QtMaemo5> in your cpp file.

If you happen to be on IRC, contact me. I can help.
