Emitting signals between main GUI thread and non-QThread thread

[jansenmd]

I'm at a new location now and don't have the code in front of me, but it's roughly this.

class MainWindow : public [main GUI window inheritance stuff]
{
    Serial m_SerialPort;
 
    ...
 
    private slots:
        void SerialEventSlot(unsigned int event);
};

class MainWindow : public [main GUI window inheritance stuff]
{
    Serial m_SerialPort;

    ...

    private slots:
        void SerialEventSlot(unsigned int event);
};

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
    ...
 
    connect(&m_SerialPort, SIGNAL(SerialEventSignal(unsigned int)), this, SLOT(SerialEventSlot(unsigned int))); // this call seems to fail if I try to use 'Qt::QueuedConnection'
}

MainWindow::MainWindow()
{
    ...

    connect(&m_SerialPort, SIGNAL(SerialEventSignal(unsigned int)), this, SLOT(SerialEventSlot(unsigned int))); // this call seems to fail if I try to use 'Qt::QueuedConnection'
}

void MainWindow::on_buttonClicked()
{
    m_SerialPort.Run(); // This causes the receiver thread to be created.
}
 
void MainWindow::SerialEventSlot(unsigned int event)
{
    std::cout << "Detected a Serial Event: " << event << std::endl;
}

void MainWindow::on_buttonClicked()
{
    m_SerialPort.Run(); // This causes the receiver thread to be created.
}

void MainWindow::SerialEventSlot(unsigned int event)
{
    std::cout << "Detected a Serial Event: " << event << std::endl;
}
