[Qt-interest] QThread Problem

[alexander golks]

perhaps main.cpp-attachment will give you some hints, based on your code.

basically, a QThread::run() method may look like:

  void my_thread::run()
  {
    while(running){
      // do hard work
      this->display();
    }
  }

where running should be a volatile bool.
you may use my_thread::start() to set running to true and QThread::start()'ing the thread,
and my_thread::stop() to set running to false, and let the run() method stop, thus the thread ends.

with this, you just do:

  // somewhere in your code
  my_thread* athread=new my_thread();
  athread->start();

  // somewhere different in your code
  athread->stop();
  athread->wait();  // you should wait, until your thread really quits
  delete athread;

more work needs to be done, if your seperate thread needs an own eventloop. therefore the my_thread::run()
method should once call exec() to start the eventloop. but that would be another funny story about threading.

and possibly some more hints on:
