QTimer not calling slot

I have a QObject subclass that sets a timer to call a slot. But that never happens.

shot.h:

Code:

---

#ifndef SHOT_H
#define SHOT_H
 
#include <QObject>
#include <QTimer>
 
 
class Shot : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit Shot(QObject *parent = 0);
private:
    QTimer *timer;
public slots:
    void updatePos();
 
};
 
#endif // SHOT_H

---

shot.cpp:

Code:

---

#include "shot.h"
#include <QDebug>
 
Shot::Shot(QObject *parent) :
    QObject(parent)
{
    timer = new QTimer();
    connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(updatePos()));
    timer->setInterval(0);
    timer->start();
}
 
void Shot::updatePos()
{
    //timer never reaches here...
}

---

Does the slot really exist? Is the file processed by moc?

Is the event loop running?

Yes, it does:

Code:

---

public slots:
void updatePos()

---

;

Hmmm.. I think so. This is a class I call to create an item when needed.

Code:

---

if(btn1){
            ui->lineEdit->setText("cliked");
            Shot tiro;
}

---

Think what is the scope of your "tiro" object and what happens to it when line #4 of the code is reached.

@#!!%&* I should really take a shot on the head.:mad:

Scope, I always forget.... Thanks for the patience.:o

BTW, why is QGraphicsView so slow when updating an item's position?

Because you are not using it correctly.

I'm using setPos(x,y) to update it's position. Isn't that correct? I checked out the "40000 Chips" example, and copied some settings from it's QGraphicsView:

Code:

---

graphicsView->setOptimizationFlags(QGraphicsView::DontSavePainterState);
     graphicsView->setViewportUpdateMode(QGraphicsView::SmartViewportUpdate);

---

But it still goes slow. Where can I see an example of correct implementation of QGraphicsView with changing elements positions(not drag-'n-drop)

There is no correct implementation of Graphics View bla bla bla. What is correct depends on a case-by-case basis.
