You can't (safely, at least) do this in C++ Qt either. Basically, your 
thread needs to deliver a signal/event to your GUI thread to update the 
progress bar.

You could do this by emitting a signal that the progress has changed, 
and connect it to a slot to update the progress (e.g. 
QProgressBar::setValue). Or you can use QMetaObject::invokeMethod to 
"directly" (sends an event behind the scenes) invoke the slot across 
threads.
