How to call function after window is shown?

try this:

in mainwindow.h:

class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();  

protected:
      void showEvent(QShowEvent *ev);

private:
      void showEventHelper();
      Ui::MainWindow *ui;
}

in mainwindow.cpp:

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    ui->setupUi(this);
}

void MainWindow::showEvent(QShowEvent *ev)
{
    QMainWindow::showEvent(ev);
    showEventHelper();
}

void MainWindow::showEventHelper()
{
    // your code placed here
}
