is it possible to stay on a user defined infinite loop?

Could you explain why it is you need an infinite loop in a costructor?
I am sure if you explain what it is you want to acheive it can be done in a better way.

Hi High_Flyer,

Myself want to handle the qtopia key events and some message queue events simultaneously.
I mean, handle them always. So I thought of going for an infinite loop which check for a qt event first and then message event.

Is it possible to call the MyWidget::event(QEvent*)?

I will show how the loop should look like...

while(1)
{
    if(true == event(QEvent *evt) ) /* keyEvent detected */
    {
        MyEventHandler(event);
    }
    if( /* Messgae at Queue */ )
    {
        /* Handle the Message */ 
    }
}

while(1)
{
    if(true == event(QEvent *evt) ) /* keyEvent detected */
    {
        MyEventHandler(event);
    }
    if( /* Messgae at Queue */ )
    {
        /* Handle the Message */ 
    }
}

And how do you expect to receive events if you are inside an infinite loop?
How about just processing events in a "normal way"? By subclassing or using an even filter, that is..

But why do you want to start your endless loop in the contructor and not just call it normally?
But even so it would not work.
What jpn means is, if the main event loop is stuck in your endless loop, it will never have time to attend the events.
You should use an event filter.

The above link is to the normal Qt4, but look the same in QTopia docs, I think it should be the same or very similar.
