running QProcess in QThread from main Window

[prkhr4u]

I want to start a new thread from button click of main window, which in turn will run a QProcess to launch gstreamer.
The main objective is to launch QProcess from button click in mainWindow without blocking the GUI.

I am unable to find the correct approach to do it.Not able to make signal/slot connection.
Pl tell the right approach to do it.
Any sample code will be highly appreciated.

Read about QProcess::startDetached.

You add a slot to your main window, you connect the button's clicked() signal to it.

Not sure what you need the thread for, QProcess works asynchronously by itself.

thank you Lesiok, QProcess::startDetached() was just I was looking for.
I wanted to start QProcess so that it does not block my existing GUI.

Unless you use QProcess::execute() or any QProcess::waitForX() function nothing in QProcess blocks.
