    Default How to stop a timer?

    Hello!

    I created the MainWindow project and added:

    MainWindow.h
    Qt Code:
    1. private:
    2. void timerEvent( QTimerEvent *event );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I wrote in the constructor of the MainWindow:
    Qt Code:
    1. startTimer( 2000 );
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    I wrote:
    Qt Code:
    1. void MainWindow::timerEvent(QTimerEvent *event)
    2. {
    3. qDebug() << "timerEvent";
    4. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    How to stop this timer here:
    Qt Code:
    1. void MainWindow::on_startTransmissionButton_clicked()
    2. {
    3.  
    4. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

    P.S. I cannot find timerEvent in the Qt's documentation

    Thank you very much!

    Qt Code:
    1. void MainWindow::on_startTransmissionButton_clicked()
    2. {
    3. m_timerID = startTimer( 2000 );
    4. }
    5.  
    6. void MainWindow::on_stopTransmissionButton_clicked()
    7. {
    8. killTimer( m_timerID );
    9. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 


    Added after 7 minutes:


    It is better:

    Qt Code:
    1. MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) :
    2. QMainWindow(parent),
    3. ui(new Ui::MainWindow)
    4. {
    5. // ...
    6.  
    7. ui->stopTransmissionButton->setEnabled( false );
    8. }
    9.  
    10. // ...
    11.  
    12. void MainWindow::on_startTransmissionButton_clicked()
    13. {
    14. m_timerID = startTimer( 2000 );
    15. ui->startTransmissionButton->setEnabled( false );
    16. ui->stopTransmissionButton->setEnabled( true );
    17. }
    18.  
    19. void MainWindow::on_stopTransmissionButton_clicked()
    20. {
    21. killTimer( m_timerID );
    22. ui->startTransmissionButton->setEnabled( true );
    23. ui->stopTransmissionButton->setEnabled( false );
    24. }

    Why muck with low level events and not simply use a QTimer?

    Cheers,
