Emit endResetModel using a QTimer

I think I've managed to make this work, but not quite how I originally intended. My code now looks something like this:

Qt Code:

Switch view

class MyModel {
    MyModel();
...
slots:
    void EndResetModel();
...
    void MyModel::HandleSource2Data(const DataItem& item)
...
}
 
MyModel::MyModel()
{
    ...
    source2Timer = new QTimer(this);
    source2Timer->setInterval(500);
    source2Timer->setSingleShot(true);
    connect(source2Timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(EndResetModel()));
}
 
void MyModel::EndResetModel()
{
    endResetModel();
}
 
void MyModel::HandleSource2Data(const DataItem& item)
{
    beginResetModel();
    source2Cache.Add(item);
    source2Timer->start();
}

class MyModel {
    MyModel();
...
slots:
    void EndResetModel();
...
    void MyModel::HandleSource2Data(const DataItem& item)
...
}

MyModel::MyModel()
{
    ...
    source2Timer = new QTimer(this);
    source2Timer->setInterval(500);
    source2Timer->setSingleShot(true);
    connect(source2Timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(EndResetModel()));
}

void MyModel::EndResetModel()
{
    endResetModel();
}

void MyModel::HandleSource2Data(const DataItem& item)
{
    beginResetModel();
    source2Cache.Add(item);
    source2Timer->start();
}

endResetModel() is not a slot, its just a protected function. So the timer can't call endResetModel() directly; it needs to call a custom slot that in turn calls endResetModel().
