QtScript

Hello,

I'm trying to learn about qtScript. I would like to know if it is possible to use the setTimeout Javascript function.
For that I'm creating a PushButton, connecting the onclick signal to a JS function who will call the setTimeout function, but it does not work.

I can modify the text of the Pushbutton and connect a JS function to it. Here the code of my js file:

button.clicked.connect(onButtonClicked);

function onButtonClicked(checked) {
button.text = qsTr('onClick!');
setTimeout("timedCount()", 1000);
}

function timedCount()
{
button.text = qsTr('TimedCount!');
}



When I click on the button it displays the "onClick' text, but the setTimeout does not work

Any ideas??

The setTimeout function is a method of the window object in web browsers. It’s not a part of ECMAScript proper. There is a list of the objects, methods and properties QtScript supports.

I think you could add support for a setTimeout function by using the techniques described in the Qt documentation Function Objects and Native Functions. The Context 2D Example does something like that (see its environment.cpp file).

Or you can just use QTimer...
