How to stop a QThread from the GUI

Question

This is a follow up question to a previous one I posted earlier. The problem is how to stop (terminate|quit|exit) a QThread from the GUI when using the recommended method

Answer 1

You can stop the thread by calling exit() or quit() . In extreme cases, you may want to forcibly terminate() an executing thread. However, doing so is dangerous and discouraged. Please read the documentation for terminate() and setTerminationEnabled() for detailed information.
