    Default QTimer problem

    hi,

    I am using QTimer in my code, i created QTimer object and connectecd timeout signal to one slot. I am giving 5 millisec timeout for timer. but that slot is not calling after timeout.
    Any specific way to use the timer?

    My code is:

    Qt Code:
    1. m_pTimer = new QTimer();
    2. connect(m_pTimer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(TimerNotification()));
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    in buttonClick function:
    Qt Code:
    1. m_pTimer->start(2000);
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

    When you call connect , they will return a bool value, you can see the value is "true"
    and , does your TimerNotification() is defined under
    public slots
    or
    private slots

    connect returning true, TimerNotification() function is private slot. And in command window "QObject::startTimer: QTimer can only be used with threads started with QThread:" this message is printing. i am not using any QThread in my code.

    Probably either the required Q(Core)Application instance is missing or you're using non-Qt threading mechanisms.
