[Interest] QTimer pauses when window minimum

[Pritam Ghanghas]

Hi

call paint() instead of update(), that should fix it.

Yeah, I mean when you clicked minimum button on right top of the window.

I'm developing a monitor system with real time chart so the chart should be updated no matter the window is visible or just in minimized state. If most windowing system optimize this, I think I should draw the chart in memory in order to update the whole chart when the window is visible. This might be one of solutions.

Whether your window is in minimized state?. When window is in minimized state it is not visible in screen. Then why you need a paint? Basically most of the windowing system optimizes by not sending paintevent when window is in minimized state.

Hi, there! In my application I need to update UI every 2s. I use QTimer to implement this feature. But when the window minimum QTimer stops and paintEvent() could not be called. How could I solve this problem? Or could you tell me something else to get this feature?

Thank you!
