[Qt-interest] Timer objects conflicting

As I have mentioned before.

Along with flags for on/off you will also set up the counters for each
of the buttons.  Click a button then a respective flag goes on and the
respective counter will be incremented every time the time times out.
Click it again and flag goes off and the counter is no longer
incremented upon a timeout.

        If you need to time the buttons separately and need to know how
        much
        time the timer was active set a second list of values that will
        save
        that amount.  First click will set the flag and start
        incrementing,
        second click will clear the flag and stop incrementing.
        
        If the first suggestion doesn't work for you try the second.

        AS per your first suggestion,
        
        
        ok , i am use single timer. if i someting upadated in object.,i
        set the
        flag ..
        
        But ,i need two buttons timer value separately..That's why i am
        creating
        new objects..
        
        any other idea ?
        
        
        Thanks

               As Alex has stated the "conflict" doesn't explain the
        problem
               you are
               having and further doesn't specify the symptoms of the
        problem,
               which
               are needed.
        
               Looking at the code, however, I think you need to change
        the
               design of
               your application the reason being is:  I would assume
        that you
               have only
               one instance of the Form class and all the timers are
        created
               through it
               so you are calling the same slot in the same object, so
        my
               suggestion
               for you would be 1 of the 2 things:
        
               1.  Use a single timer and just have a list of flags on
        whether
               something needs to be updated within the object and then
        update
               it based
               on the flag being set to true.
        
               2.  Break up data handling into separate objects and
        create the
               timer
               within the object so you are not attempting to update
        parameters
               within
               the same object.

               Thiago is right about static variable initialization and
        since
               your code mostly likely assumes that initial count should
        be 0,
               it is mostly likely not a problem here. It still might be
        a
               problem in other cases. I can only guess.
               I believe it is preferable to initialize static variable
        of the
               basic types (no constructors) even if it should be
        initialized
               to 0.
               This will clearly state for the person reviewing your
        code that
               you did not forget to do it.
               Comment can be used to get the same effect, but "= 0" is
               shorter.
               This is more related to the style and I would not
        probably
               mentioned this, if code posted was not so hard to read
        due to
               lack indentation already.
        
        
               Back to the problem.
               As it was pointed already by John, the "conflict" does
        not
               explain the problem.
        
               More of that, it is not clear what was intended to do.
               You explanation does not provide information what you are
        trying
               to achieve.
               It gives description how you are doing it.
        
               Since there are endless possibilities "What" you want to
        achieve
               it is tough to help you.
        
               For example if you wanted to show time passed from the
        click on
               the last button,
               The only single timer supposed to be running at any time.
               You have to stop previously running timer (if any),
        create a new
               one and change data to be displayed.
        
               If you have parallel processes running, timers represents
        each
               process and click of the specific button just supposed to
               switching the data displayed into specific control, you
        do need
               multiple timers.
               But only one timer at a time supposed to display the
        data, the
               one associated with specific process/button.

               Your statement is still not helpful because you don't
        describe
               what the
               conflict is. So, I'll try with a couple of questions. 1)
        What
               happens
               when you just click push button 1? 2) What happens when
        you
               click push
               button 1 then click push button 2? 3)How is this
        different from
               what you
               want to happen?
        
               >
               > And more thing.. How come i know,which object is
        emitting the
               timeout signal
               You can use the sender() function in the run_timer slot.
        See the
               Qt
               documentation.
