Problem emitting signal from a static function

[wysota]

In Java you have to do the synchronisation as well of course... It's not as simple as calling any function doing anything you want anywhere you want.

Sorry I didn't update this thread sooner. I did indeed solve it by subclassing QCustomEvent. In the end the solution was simple to implement, and works very well. Thank you all for your help and patience.

/edit : the crash was being caused by accessing a function running in another thread directly. It was solved by bundling the data in the subclassed QCustomEvent as suggested.
