How to handle the value returned from a slot???

[learner_qt]

After every second I want to get the cursor position. But I dont know how to obtain the value returned from a slot???
Please help.
Thanks in advance!

Here is my code:

QTimer *mtimer = new QTimer();
 
connect (mtimer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT (get_cursor_position()));
 
QPoint MainWindow::get_cursor_position()
{
    q = QCursor::pos();
    return q;
}

QTimer *mtimer = new QTimer();

connect (mtimer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT (get_cursor_position()));

QPoint MainWindow::get_cursor_position()
{
    q = QCursor::pos();
    return q;
}
