QThread and QEventLoop - Idle Processing

[kloffy]

Thank you! That was exactly what I was looking for. It just so happens that I stumbled upon a similar example right before I saw your post. It had suspend function to stop the timer, which is pretty neat. If anyone's interested:

class MyThreadObject : public QObject {
QTimer myTimer;
 
MyThreadObject() {
        connect( &myTimer, timeout(), this, onTimeOut());
}
 
slot onSuspendThread() {
        myTimer.stop();
}
 
slot onResumeThread() {
        myTimer.start(0);
}
 
private slot onTimeOut() {
        // do a few comutation steps. 
        // Should return "quickly" to the event loop
}
 
}
 
 
class MyThread : public QThread {
slot MyThread:run() {
        MyThreadObject threadObject; //=> the threadObject affinity is the thread 
        // here, connect the appropriate signals to the appropriate slots       
 
        threadObject.onResumeThread();
        exec();
}
 
}

class MyThreadObject : public QObject {
QTimer myTimer;

MyThreadObject() {
        connect( &myTimer, timeout(), this, onTimeOut());
}

slot onSuspendThread() {
        myTimer.stop();
}

slot onResumeThread() {
        myTimer.start(0);
}

private slot onTimeOut() {
        // do a few comutation steps. 
        // Should return "quickly" to the event loop
}

}


class MyThread : public QThread {
slot MyThread:run() {
        MyThreadObject threadObject; //=> the threadObject affinity is the thread 
        // here, connect the appropriate signals to the appropriate slots       

        threadObject.onResumeThread();
        exec();
}
