You can ALWAYS transfer the control - or rather "data calculation" - into a worker thread, and once the calculation is done emit an asynchronous signal ("queued signals"), as mentioned in my previous post. The widget then would eventually receive the signal and either pick up the (latest) data from the thread or you pass (a copy of) the data as argument with the signal and update itself.

Cheers, Oliver
