[Qt-interest] Emitting a signal from a callback function called by another thread

[Donal O'Connor]

Hi,

I am working on Windows Mobile 6.

I am mixing Windows API programming and QT as I need to access special low
level functions from a windows dll.
I resolve pointers to the methods in this dll by using QLibrary and this is
all working ok.

I've a class that initialises the DLL, creates the pointers etc and calls
the methods.
When you initialise with this dll, you pass a notification function and a
callback function pointer.

This all works ok. The problem is, I want to use the notifications function
to alert my program that a new notification has arrived.
I wanted to do this with Signals and slots but there seems to be a problem.

I cannot emit a signal from my notification call back function, I get this
debug info:

Data Abort: Thread=962c5640 Proc=80096e00 'Prototype.exe'
AKY=00001001 PC=780eb654(qtcored4.dll+0x0000b654)
RA=78285758(qtcored4.dll+0x001a5758) BVA=1a000004 FSR=00000407
The thread 0xb664ab86 has exited with code -2147467259 (0x80004005).

I hope I'm making sense here

Does the QT signal and slot mechanism allow this functionality or am I doing
something majorly wrong?

Thanks
