1. Create QTimer
2. connect QTimer's signal (timeout) to your slot
3. start it

QTimer *timer = new QTimer;
timer->setSingleShot(true);
 
connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(yourSlot()));
 
timer->start(2000);
 
...
 
void yourClass::yourSlot() 
{
 
}

QTimer *timer = new QTimer;
timer->setSingleShot(true);

connect(timer, SIGNAL(timeout()), this, SLOT(yourSlot()));

timer->start(2000);

...

void yourClass::yourSlot() 
{

}

or maybe you just want to do sleep(2). I don't the reasons why you need to wait.

Btw, QTimer has a convenient static method which can combine all that to a single statement:

QTimer::singleShot(2000, this, SLOT(yourSlot()));

QTimer::singleShot(2000, this, SLOT(yourSlot()));
