QApplication::processEvents lets me to run all pending commands for my widget?

[tonnot]

I have a custom widget which is created being some parameters.
I have :

A_panel * a_panel = new A_panel(a_widget, parent, sizable );
QApplication::processEvents(QEventLoop::AllEvents) ;
a_panel->resize(parent->width()*float(tam_100_or_0)/100, parent->height()*float(tam_100_or_0)/100);

Ok. my 'A_panel' has three internal calls. The constructor calls a function and this one a last one, that sets a 'i_am_ready' variable to 'true'.
the resizeevent has 'if i_am_ready!=true return', that is, until my widget is not ready I dont want to process any resize event.

Ok. The last code fails, I have a resizeevent before the three functions be called.
I have tried to use the processEvents, but without success.
Any help or idea ? Thanks.

What is this processEvents() call of yours supposed to do? Returning from resizeEvent() doesn't cause your widget to prevent being resized. resizeEvent() is simply a notification for the application that the widget has been resized. As far as I know you can't prevent the resize itself even if you explicitly ignore() the event.

Sorry. I explain me just a little...
I have a code to place some internal widgets and paint the widget. I call it from resizeevent if 'i_am_ready' is true.
What I want to do is a way to be sure all my internal code was executed before continue.
(My constructor calls three functions before it was ready )

This is the reason to try 'processevents'. (not to avoid resizeevent).
Thanks wy.

But what events do you expect your widget to process right after the constructor returns? Are you posting any events to the widget in the constructor?

You are going to send me to the .... excuse me for not explaining better.

This is the psedo-code I have :

A_panel() // constructor type 1
{ call generic_constructor}
A_panel() // constructor type 2
{ call generic_constructor}

generic_constructor() {
set some variables;
i_am_ready=false;
launch a timer of 1 milisecond interval to check if the parent_widget is already visible.it calls timer_slot_function
}
the timer_slot_function () {
if (my_parent_visible) place_things() ;
}

place_things() {
I measure the size and other things of widget parent to set the size and position of this custom_widget
i_am_ready=true; // finally I set 'i_am_ready' to true.
}

resize_event() {
qDebug()<<"Resize_event";
if (i_am_ready) place_things }
}

Due to some reasons I dont want to execute 'place_things' on undesirable resize_events . I control this using 'i_am_ready' variable.

I have this code :(a_panel is the custom widget)

A_panel * a_panel = new A_panel(a_widget, parent, sizable );

a_panel->resize(parent->width()*float(tam_100_or_0)/100, parent->height()*float(tam_100_or_0)/100);

And I discover I have a resize_event (showed by the qdebug) before all the last code is executed.
( that is: genericcontructor-timer-placethings).

Ok, this is due to the timer... i know.

I have just found that the problem is the timer i use...
Sorry again .

How about this:


class MyWidget : public QWidget {
public:
MyWidget(QWidget *parent = 0) : QWidget(parent) {
m_initialized = false;
}
protected:
void placeThings() { ... }
void showEvent(QShowEvent *se) {
if(!m_initialized) {
placeThings();
m_initialized = true;
}
}
private:
bool m_initialized;
};

I'm going to consider it. I'm sorry but I have to say you something on friday...
Thanks again.
