Newbie-Question: update does not trigger paintEvent

[nish]

as said in tutorial... update() will not call the paintEvent() everytime.
but repaint() should call it.

i have not used cout<< in any of my qt programs. try this...

#include<QDebug>
#include<QTime>
 
void ForceIndicator::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* /*event*/)
{
  //std::cout << "blub" << std::endl;
  qWarning()<<"Current Time ="<<QTime::currentTime();
 
  QPainter painter(this);
 
  //paint the current time somewhere it is visible in your widget.
  painter.drawText(50,50,QTime::currentTime().toString());
 
/* stuff */
 
}

#include<QDebug>
#include<QTime>

void ForceIndicator::paintEvent(QPaintEvent* /*event*/)
{
  //std::cout << "blub" << std::endl;
  qWarning()<<"Current Time ="<<QTime::currentTime();
  
  QPainter painter(this);
  
  //paint the current time somewhere it is visible in your widget.
  painter.drawText(50,50,QTime::currentTime().toString());
  
/* stuff */
 
}
