QThread not starting on second call

[boogemin]

Hello, I am having a trouble getting a thread to continue restarting until a listWidget is finished with all of the items in it.

mainwindow.h

namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT
 
public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();
    HeatTransferMain *hMain;
    QThread T;
 
signals:
    SimData(QString, QString, QString)
}

namespace Ui {
class MainWindow;
}
class MainWindow : public QMainWindow
{
    Q_OBJECT

public:
    explicit MainWindow(QWidget *parent = 0);
    ~MainWindow();
    HeatTransferMain *hMain;
    QThread T;

signals:
    SimData(QString, QString, QString)
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
 
ui->setupUi(this);
hMain = new HeatTransferMain;
 
QThread * T = new QThread;
 
connect(this,SIGNAL(SimData(QString, QString, QString)),hMain,SLOT(SimulationData(QString, QString,QString))); // Connection of Main Data Structure
}
 
void MainWindow::on_StartSimulation_Clicked()
{
 
    RunMain();
}
 
void MainWindow::Progress()
{
        if(ui->listWidget->count()>0)
             delete ui->listWidget->takeItem(0);
 
        RunMain();
}
 
void MainWindow::RunMain()
{
    if(ui->listWidget->count()==0)
        return;
 
QString sim_name_it = ui->listWidget->item(0)->text();
 
emit(SimData(sim_name_it, Direc, Path));
 
    hMain->DoSetup(T);
    hMain->moveToThread(&T);
 
    T.start();
}

MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    QMainWindow(parent),
    ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
{
    
ui->setupUi(this);
hMain = new HeatTransferMain;
    
QThread * T = new QThread;
 
connect(this,SIGNAL(SimData(QString, QString, QString)),hMain,SLOT(SimulationData(QString, QString,QString))); // Connection of Main Data Structure
}

void MainWindow::on_StartSimulation_Clicked()
{
    
    RunMain();
}

void MainWindow::Progress()
{
        if(ui->listWidget->count()>0)
             delete ui->listWidget->takeItem(0);

        RunMain();
}

void MainWindow::RunMain()
{
    if(ui->listWidget->count()==0)
        return;
    
QString sim_name_it = ui->listWidget->item(0)->text();
    
emit(SimData(sim_name_it, Direc, Path));
    
    hMain->DoSetup(T);
    hMain->moveToThread(&T);

    T.start();
}

When the Thread is done for the first Sim_name_it, the progress function is emitted by the thread. The Progress function calls RunMain(), but the thread never starts. Any ideas will be helpful!


note: the code was edited for readability, if something is not defined it was probably removed because it was deemed not important.

I don't know if this is THE problem, but its A problem:
You have declared QThread T; member that you use in RunMain(), and in your code you are defining a local *T pointer as well, but the T.start() in RunMain is starting the member, not the thread pointer.
In any case you have two instances of QThread that I think you tread as if they were only one.
