QThread

[TheKedge]

Hello everybody,
I'm using threads ... and I've got a question. I've subclassed QThread and when I call start() the function below is called. Great. Now I thought there's be two ways of doing things: the first way with a forever loop - it works fine; and the second way, with a timer. My question: How do I connect the timer properly?

update() is a func in 'this' i.e. MyClass where I do the work.

void MyClass::run()
{
	//can do this .... 
 
	forever{
		update();
		sleep(3);//seconds
	}
	return;
 
	//or could do this...
 
	QTimer* timer = new QTimer();
	timer->setInterval(3000);
	connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(update()), Qt::QueuedConnection);
 
	exec();
 
	delete timer;
 
	return;
}

void MyClass::run()
{
	//can do this .... 

	forever{
		update();
		sleep(3);//seconds
	}
	return;

	//or could do this...

	QTimer* timer = new QTimer();
	timer->setInterval(3000);
	connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(update()), Qt::QueuedConnection);

	exec();

	delete timer;

	return;
}
