Painting on demand

[devarajdaimane]

Hi,

Isn't there anything similar to GetDC() and ReleaseDC() of Windows in Qt that lets us perform painting outside the default paint cycle(paintEvent function)?

Thanks.

Since Qt4 no - you have to do your painting in paintEvent().
Can you explain why you need to draw out side the paint event?
If you describe it I am quite sure a design failure will emerge.
