How do I create a pause/wait function using Qt?

Question

I\'m playing around with Qt, and I want to create a simple pause between two commands. However it won\'t seem to let me use Sleep(int mili);, and I can\'t find

Answer 1

I wrote a super simple delay function for an application I developed in Qt.

I would advise you to use this code rather than the sleep function as it won't let your GUI freeze.

Here is the code:

void delay()
{
    QTime dieTime= QTime::currentTime().addSecs(1);
    while (QTime::currentTime() < dieTime)
        QCoreApplication::processEvents(QEventLoop::AllEvents, 100);
}

To delay an event by n seconds - use addSecs(n).
