[Qt-interest] Waiting for the Timer to emit Siganl timeout()

[Jason H]

Why would you want to hang the program? 
If its not done in 60 seconds, you're going to bring everything to a halt until it is done??
Why not just wait another 60 seconds?


You also might want to look at libQxt's QxtSignalWaiter class.

Dear Friends
I have a QTimer started, now I want wait till the timeout() signal emitted, how
can I hang the program for a certain period of time but the timer started
should keep emitting its signal. I am not sure how to achieve this , I have
been trying something like this.


 

MainWindow::startTimer() {
QTimer * timer = new QTimer(this);
connect(timer,SIGNAL(timeout()),this,SLOT(updateLocalSlot () ));
timer->start(60000);
}
MainWindow::updateLocalSlot()
{
if() // if the job is done then 
{
timer->stop();
}
else // wait for the next signal to be emitted after 1 min
{
QWaitCondition waitcondition;
Qmutex mutex;
waitcondition.wait(&mutex);
// Here the problem when its coming here its waiting for an uncertain time its
not able to capture the timeout()
// signal anymore..... How can I achieve this please give me some hint fi
anyone knows. Thanks
}
}
 
Thanks & Regards
