Hi,
I have to say that I am a complete Noob to UI programming. I prefere background development.
Anyway I have a console application which runs for 10min and has a lot of console text output. The application does what it should but if others want to use it it should be more user firendly. E.g. there are a lot of parameters which have to be change in source code currently.
That's why I want to add a UI and I chose QT.
But I've some problems understanding the concepts. To start I have created a small app with just one button and a plaintextedit (PTE).
In button->clicked() I can add another text line to the PTE.
But actually with the click of the button I want to run my core algorithm and want to send a lot of updates to the PTE. (use it as console).
So I added a 10000 time loop in button->clicked() and in each loop another line is added. I also added QCoreApplication::instance()->flush(); in each loop and hoped to see immediatelly updates.
But it only updates if clicked() is left.
How should it be done correctly? I think I miss something...
