    Question GUI gets hang while copying data from one file to another

    I have GUI in which on button click copy the content from one file to another file.While copying my GUI get hangs and it get release once the copying is done.
    I tried to implement QtConcurrent function in my program but still GUI hangs for couple of second.
    My code
    Qt Code:
    1. connect(ui->button1,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(select_C_file()));
    2. void MainWindow::select_C_file()
    3. {
    4. QDir directory("Documents");
    5. QString path = directory.filePath(" ");
    6. QString fileName = QFileDialog::getOpenFileName(this,tr("Open File"),path,tr("(*.lst)"));//open the file path which has to copy
    7.  
    8. //Thread implementation
    9. QFuture<void> future = QtConcurrent::run(this,&MainWindow::openCfile,QString(fileName));
    10. future.waitForFinished();
    11.  
    12. void MainWindow::openCfile(QString fileName)
    13. {
    14. //program to copy
    15. }
    16.  
    17. }
    To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 
    My program is working perfectly but still my GUI is getting hang.
    Please let me how can I use Qthread instead of QtConcurrent.Where my Qthread should start on the button click and should end once the copying is done or it should be in threadloop.

    Because you are calling waitForFinished()

    You could first try not to block the main thread by not calling waitForFinished()

    If you want to get notified when the future is completed, have a look at QFutureWatcher.
