I found a nice answer in this question which works well, even if you use a Sleep() function.

So tried this:

//- cpp-file ----------------------------------------

#include "myapp.h"
#include 
#include 

MyApp::MyApp(QWidget *parent)
    : QMainWindow(parent, Qt::FramelessWindowHint)
{
    ui.setupUi(this);
}

MyApp::~MyApp()
{

}

void MyApp::showEvent(QShowEvent *event) {
    QMainWindow::showEvent(event);
    QTimer::singleShot(50, this, SLOT(window_shown()));
    return;
}

void MyApp::window_shown() {
    std::cout << "Running" << std::endl;
    Sleep(10000);
    std::cout << "Delayed" << std::endl;
    return;
}

//- h-file ----------------------------------------

#ifndef MYAPP_H
#define MYAPP_H

#include 
#include 
#include 
#include "ui_myapp.h"


class MyApp : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    MyApp(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MyApp();

protected:
    void showEvent(QShowEvent *event);


private slots:
    void window_shown();

private:
    Ui::MyAppClass ui;
};

#endif // MYAPP_H
