Widgets must be created in the GUI thread.

hi all, i dont understand why my program error Widgets must be created in the GUI thread.

it use Qthread loop WaitForSingleObject(hEvent, INFINITE);

when i run test-gui-event-error project and after run sendevent project then it error :

Attachment 6625


message error: ASSERT failure in QWidget: "Widgets must be created in the GUI

note: my source code project: Desktop.zip --> you must run test-gui-event-error project and after run sendevent , it will show error message
thread.", file kernel/qwidget.cpp

I don't understand either, but I do not see any reference to WaitForSingleObject in the C++ source.

Run you project in your debugger. When is asserts look back through the backtrace of the non-main thread(s) until you find the line in your code that is causing the problem.

no, haven't you read my source code attach ???

Code:

If you want to use QtGui, then you have to instantiate QApplication object, QCoreApplication is not enough to use message windows, change this

Code:

---

#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
...
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

---

to

Code:

---

#include <QApplication>
...
QApplication a(argc, argv);

thanks you, i was fix Widgets must be created in the GUI thread on SendEvent, but when i run test-gui-event-error project and after run sendevent project then it still error on test-gui-event-error

this is error debug on QtCreator

Attachment 6644

can you help me ?

can you help me ??? :((

try to change

Code:

---

connect(tWAGE,SIGNAL(AddNewGroup(QList<QString>)),this,SLOT(prepareAddGroup(QList<QString>)),Qt::DirectConnection );

---

to

Code:

---

connect(tWAGE,SIGNAL(AddNewGroup(QList<QString>)),this,SLOT(prepareAddGroup(QList<QString>)));

---

or

Code:

---

connect(tWAGE,SIGNAL(AddNewGroup(QList<QString>)),this,SLOT(prepareAddGroup(QList<QString>)), Qt::QueuedConnection);

---

see http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/threads...across-threads

it still error


when i play QmessageBOx in Qthread then it still also error

help me resolve

Yes of course. Please read http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/thread-basics.html

As mentioned, each program has one thread when it is started. This thread is called the "main thread" (also known as the "GUI thread" in Qt applications). The Qt GUI must run in this thread. All widgets and several related classes, for example QPixmap, work in secondary threads.

---

To be clear: Its (by the design of Qt) not possible to work with widgets in threads. The work only in the main thread! Inform the main thread from your worker thread to show the message box.
