QThreadPool and QRunnable

[jimc1200]

My current application design uses QThread with signals/slots to communicate to the Main GUI thread. I've just read about QThreadPool and QRunnable as a good way to manage threads without the hassle of maintaining how many threads to use. The question I have though is if it's possible to have event loop using QThreadPool and QRunnable so that I can still support signal/slots ? Thanks for any advice.

No, you have no control over the threads there so you can't accept signals in threads running runnables (but you can emit signals from there).

So there's no way I could use QObject subclass such as QTcpSocket and receive the signals within QRunnable subclass, correct? Thanks.

No, I don't think so.
