[Qt-interest] please help me with this problem

[Yifei Li]

I use a variable to keep track of the current message to be displayed.
every time the signal displayMessage is emitted to a slot, that slot calls QGraphicsScene::update()

but I never see the first two messages show up

I think it is because it is really paint but the later one draws over it. 
That is the scene refresh by the new message.

Hi folks, 

In my thread's run() method, signal displayMessage(QString) is emitted and the signal is connected to a slot setMessage(QString) in a QGraphicsScene object (using direct connection) 

// run method looks like this: 
void run() 
{ 
sleep(2); 
emit displayMessage("hello 1"); 
sleep(2); 
emit displayMessage("hello 2"); 
sleep(2); 
emit displayMessage("hello 3"); 
} 

// Here is what setMessage(QString) looks like: 
void setMessage(QString msg) 
{ 
m_message = msg; // save the message 
update(); 
} 

The message is then displayed in drawForegound method 


However, my problem is 'hello1' and 'hello2' don't show up at all, only 'hello3' does. 

My guess is that update() queues the paint event and several paint events are merged into one due to optimization, so what should I do make those three messages displayed one after another? 

Thanks 

Yifei
