[Qt-interest] Controlling when timers run

[clinton at elemtech.com]

Can you just use your own QEventLoop instead of QApplication::exec() ?
Then you can do something like

QEventLoop eventLoop;
while(eventloop.isRunning())
{
  eventloop.processEvents(QEventLoop::WaitForMoreEvents);
  eventloop.processEvents();
  MySpecialStuff();
}

QApplication::exec just uses a QEventLoop to do the work.

The docs for QEventLoop::exec say "More sophisticated idle processing schemes can be achieved using processEvents()."
