paintEvent() timing

[dextermagnific]

Wouldn't it make then especially sense to have a "gallery" application that has all the standard elements?
Not just for timing but also for checking how the look?

That's what I did. I have a QSvgThemeBuilder app that shows live previews of themes. I wanted to add timing information.

You can always register a custom event and send it to yourself, so even if there is no other event in the queue the event loop will have something to process.

GREAT ! So I can 1) install an event filter on the paint event, 2) grab the time at that moment and 3) postEvent() a custom "finish paint" event. 4) diff time when the finish paint event arrives.

Will try. Thanks a lot for the help

Then it is likely the best place to put the timing gathering.

Yes. Obviously not as accurate as timing the paintEvent() calls since there could be many events and their handling in between.
