Ncurses and Qt Interoperability

Question

Having a Qt and ncurses based application, what is the best way to refresh the screen every second, while waiting for user input? (e.g. show the clock and get user input).

Answer 1

I found the answer to signal-slot mechanism not working inside while loop, is QCoreApplication::processEvents(); So, to receive the signals:

while(1)
{
    sleep(1);
    getch();
    processInput();
    QCoreApplication::processEvents();
}
