QBasicTimer never timeout.

[faldzip]

Did you read QBasicTimer documentation? I guess not.

Timers (QBasicTimer and QTimer) when started they are running all the time but sending event on timeout. It is preferred to use QTimer then QBasicTimer. QTimer emits signal timeout() on timeout (surprise! :P) and QBasicTimer sends timer event to the given QObject subclass, but I don't see any timer event handling in MyClass...

Please read documentation about QBasicTimer and QTimer to get how to use them.

EDIT:
Oops... I was a bit late. But it is good that I'm not alone with opinion about thread's creator's documentation knowledge :P

The main problem is that the event loop is not running Use of QBasicTimer instead of QTimer is a secondary issue.

Thanks for your replies and I appreciate that you all have given some time to reply for this stupid kind of issue.

@wysota : do we really need event loop for QBasicTimer, because its no where stated in the doc that QBasicTimer needs event loop like QTimer.

@faldżip : yes, i accept that's my mistake there is nothing in MyCalss which will handle the timer event which QBasicTimer will send to MyClass.

@high_flyer : do we really need Event loop for QBasicTimer ?? and yes there is a special need where i have to use QBasicTimer instead of QTimer.

QBasicTimer is sending timer event on timeout, so as you can guess event loop is required, because it is event-based.

and yes there is a special need where i have to use QBasicTimer instead of QTimer.

What is this special need?
