Extending QTimer()

[rishid]

Hi,

I am trying to figure out how to extend the QTimer class so I can pass some variables through the timeout signal. Is that even possible? I was think I could like "catch" the normal timeout() emit and then just emit my own signal with some variables I need.

Or is there some other way I am do not know of to pass arguments or at least get the QTimer object from the signal() that comes through?

I have never done this before and pretty confused. Is what below anything similar to what it should be?

Thanks

#include <QTimer>
#include "common.h"
 
 
class FileTimer: public QTimer{
 
  public:
  FileTimer(QObject * parent, uint16 dest, QString fileName):
   QTimer ( parent )
     {
        dest = dest;
        fileName = fileName;
     }
 
     uint16 dest;
     QString fileName;
 
  signals:
     void sendTimeout(uint16 dest, QString fileName);
 
     void timeout()
     {
        emit QTimer::timeout();
        emit sendTimeout(dest, fileName);
     }
};

#include <QTimer>
#include "common.h"


class FileTimer: public QTimer{

  public:
  FileTimer(QObject * parent, uint16 dest, QString fileName):
   QTimer ( parent )
     {
        dest = dest;
        fileName = fileName;
     }

     uint16 dest;
     QString fileName;

  signals:
     void sendTimeout(uint16 dest, QString fileName);

     void timeout()
     {
        emit QTimer::timeout();
        emit sendTimeout(dest, fileName);
     }
};
