QThread and QTimer

Question

I\'m working on an application developed with Qt 4.6.

I want to create a custom timer that counts in a separate thread. However, I want this timer to be able to send

Answer 1

Probable reason can be, your timer object is not in a thread with event loop. Event loop is required to trigger the signals.

However, I would suggest that you should not go with this approach. Timers use different mechanism on different platform and your code might not behave as expected on different platform.
