[Qt-interest] problem using QThread

[Sarvesh Saran]

Hi,

I have a main window where one of its widgets launches a QThread. Unfortunately an exit(1) in the thread closes the main window too. I'm not sure why this is happening. It could be because of the way I launch the thread or something else.

Basically, I am doing the following:


1.       (in mainwindow.cpp)
Mywidget *widget = new Mywidget(this);


2.       .....then in MyWidget.cpp
MyThread *th = new MyThread(this);
Connect (this,SIGNAL(killall()),th,SLOT(KillThread()));
th->start();

And ..
on_killButton_clicked()
{
Killall();
}


3.       Finally in mythread.cpp
KillThread()
{
exit(1);
}

Unfortunately slot KillThread causes the mainwindow to exit out.

Is there something I am missing?


Thanks,
Sarvesh
