Wysota ...

my GUI is a just a QDIALOg l mange in the Thread ...seems to work well, eexcept to exit the thread when l use signal... l read around in this forum there is limitation on calling Signal in a thread, but it is not really clear to me !!

Are you calling run() explicitly? Then you are not starting a thread. You should be calling start(), not run().

Seems you don't have a thread at all. But if you did, your code would crash while trying to access the dialog.

hey Wysota,

well l reworked my code so the GUI is manage outside the thread and l update the GUI using Signal in the Thread...and now use Start() to activate the thread.

everything works as l want.

thanks for your help,

Michael
