GUI interaction with loops

[Ini]

Hello,

im constantly posting something into a QTextEdit via a loop. In the loop is atm a qwait of 1 ms but the gui is not really good available for interaction.

I think cause QTextEdit is just always painting something.

Whats the best way to solve this problem in qt?

thx

"posting something" as in QTextEdit::append()?

Have you tried a simple timing, e.g. using QElapsedTimer how long that takes?

If you write "qwait" do you mean QTest::qwait(), i.e. in a unit test?

yes append

yes QTest::qwait()

dont know what to what to do with QElapsedTimer there.

I meant measuring the time append() needs, but I think I misunderstood the problem.

Maybe you can rephrase what you are trying to do?

One one hand you have a unit test but you also mentioned UI interaction.
